I have often thought that although my stbxH IS a good person, I got to see the worst side of him. The rest of world never met the man who knew NOTHING about life till I met him. And I mean that. He knew nothing about paying bills, grocery shopping, paperwork, taxes, things around the house, you name it he had no clue about it!! LOL!! Honestly. Imagine when he left me he called me to tell him how much money he made (salary, not a business man, every month it is the same), to tell his lawyer to make me the offer about the CS ( I should have said more than he really makes, he would still not know the truth)..
So, when we separated, everybody pointed their guns to me blaming me for being SOOOO "difficult" and always pushing him to take a step (regarding work, investments, vacation, anything). And I believed them, I believed him.
A year later I have realised that people saw how "weak" he is by the way he handled the end of our M and our kids. A year later, people that talk to him, come and apologise for accusing me in the beginning. Thank God I dont need their apologies to feel good about myself anymore.
Now why did I say all that? Probably because I feel safe here that you would understand.
