Thought I would tell a little tale today, it's from the view of the walk away, in this case a man. I will not disclose too many details, but you should get the story.
This guy had been living (not married) with this girl for 5 years & has now left, about 2 weeks ago. When he first told me he was thinking of leaving, his reasons were, she has insane jealousy & could not live with it anymore. They stayed in the same house for a while but were sort of seperated, sleeping apart etc. As the days went by he was telling me of how she was trying to get him to change his mind, the normal things that we LBS do, before we wise up. I could see that it was making him more & more determined to leave.
Now, he's left, & is going about his life without much care & seems to be loving his new freedom away from the insane jealousy...That is except for the times when he's talked & then it appears different...He's said on a few occasions that he hopes he's made the right choice...he's told me that he would hate to see his W with another man. He was telling me that she seems to be getting along fine at the moment & was little concerned that she is in fact going out on the town & GAL.
Over the last days or so they have more or less sorted out the final matters of spliting the assets..He told me that he feels a little sad now that is all done with & how it seems so final. I know it's on his mind from how he acts from time to time & he's trying to do things that take his mind off it..GAL.
So, although this is a very very shortend version of his sitch, it just goes to show that the Walk away does not just leave & forget things exist, they too go through some tuff times also.
