It must be hard to come to all these conclusions after all this time. You do sound very rational. That's such an interesting thing for him to say, "I guess we have been apart too long." So passive. He had nothing to do with it. A function of time and distance....
Sara, Has he ever "played" a part in our break up? According to him, no. He once even had the nerve to tell me, "When you had me, if you had taken better care of me this would have never happened." Yes, I agree there was some neglect on my part, but honestly, he didn't give me the warm fuzzies either...
I was like million of other women. I had a fulltime job while trying to be a wife and mother. Throw in there that I didn't have any family living nearby to help me with the kids, it does become stressful.
Sorry to rant, but I guess I need to get this out of my system to be angry with him and stay that way.
