Here's what I hear him doing - setting himself up to be the victim. He wants to be able to tell his friends and family this type of utter BS: Well, gee, I thought maybe we could work things out. I tried to remain friendly with Sue and we even ML just a few weeks before she packed up and left me. Sure, we had problems, but it was Sue who forced the issue and moved out, taking my sweet little girl away from me. Everyone should feel sorry for poor lil' ol' me....
Do NOT buy into this cr@p, not even for a second. What a slimebag!
Rob- My mom has said that she thinks he's setting me up to be able to say that I took everything and left also. I told her that could be possible. However, with him pushing me to look at certain places and telling me that he's not taking much of any of our belongings, I see him setting it up to be able to say -- It didn't work out, but I made sure I helped them find a new place and I let them have everything to help them out -- A way to ease his guilt. Also, as far as his friends and family are concerned (other than his new friends here) -- trust me, they know my H and they will completely understand and not believe one word he says if he tries to blame me for this. His brother told me to give him the boot. His dad told me not to take his sh*t any more. His best friend asked me what was going on with him because without my H even saying a word, he knew something was wrong. The best friend told me that I've done all I can in trying to save things and they'd understand if I left. I didn't even say a word to him. So, they all know him. They also know that if he just made some changes things could have worked out. They love him, but they know him.
I'm not sure what else I can do other than to remind him that he is the one that had an A. That he is the one that has told me that our M is over and that he is in love with someone else. I'm just doing my best to move forward.
I don't see OW backing off from wanting to live with my H. I don't know all of them, but I know he's made her a lot of promises. I know she's done with her M and she's ready to move into a new phase of an R with my H.
