Just as I suspected, H is still in contact with the girl he was dating before coming to me with talk of reconciliation.
We got into an R talk, and he confirmed it.
It hurts, more than I thought possible. I thought I was past the hurt, thought I couldn't hurt anymore after going through all that I have these last few years.
He lied to me again, and it hurts. It really hurts.
He was supposed to have the kids with him tomorrow night (Valentine's Day), but said (before the R talk) he had to work a double shift. I suspect this isn't true either. He's probably taking OW out.
Why? Why did I give him the benefit of the doubt? Why does he always have to lie? Why?
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
