Wow, what an interesting history you have, and a wonderful post too.
Snodderly recommended that I stop by and read your new post, and she was right. Much of what you have seen, I have have seen also, only I think my time line started before yours... affair in 2002, left 2003, divorced 2004, xh married 2006....
Anyway, Yes, I heard the "You didn't fight for me, you didn't fight for our marriage." statement too. I bent over backwards, but it didn't seem to matter, because, yes, he didn't remember either. Then it was followed with "The last thing I wanted was to be divorced at 50!" and then there was "I never thought I'd find myself in this position my whole life, never did I think I'd go bankrupt and be divorced at this time of my life!" Like I could have stopped him!... HA
I haven't heard anything close to what you had in your last phone call.... however, I do have an xh using excuses to stay in this area to spend time, and this follows 8 months of angry silence, with him taking me back to court on trumped up, make believe (projected) charges.... and to reduce the child support.
I agree with you, too much damage done for me.... as I doubt very highly (my) xh will ever discover the strength to appologize, never mind admit to liking me, so love is completely out of the picture.
Stand strong, do what is right for you.... Lord knows you've worked very hard and deserve only the very best.
Take care of you, God Bless
Love,
