I was thinking as I was driving last night. If I was him...how would I handle this.
I'd be down on one knee, begging "baby, what is it you need & want from me, whatever it is, we can work it out, you want me to leave, I'm packing a bag, you want me back, I'm back....." then, I'd keep going to IC, & prove to my woman that I am a new & improved man. I'd listen to her & make sure she knows that her wants come first. I'd date her & romance her from afar. I'd let her see miss me, & remember some of the fun times, & I'd try like hell to remember what it was that I was doing a year ago that had us in a motel for 3 nights having amazing sex.
It is incredible that almost 2 years ago he admitted the abuse & said he'd spend the rest of his life making it up to me. Now, he won't give me time & space in my own home. How would it be in 10 more years ??
& you are totally 100% right. There is another way. He's never seen it.
thanks for the support.
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
