The scary thing about backing away completely is that I did that at the beginning, for four months, and he did pursue me BUT then he got over it. That's when he decided to start dating OW. So I'm afraid that I am just showing him that it's just going to be that way again.
I just can't keep doing this, though. This morning was the 1st day of school and he called after I dropped the kids off. Wanted to talk to them, but too late. Asked how it went and I told him that our 8 yr old son was having a hard time (very emotional). He went on with that for a second, then said "Not that you care, but..." and started to tell me about his weekend. Casual, like nothing had happened. I know he is confused but NO. I freaked out in my head a little and told him I had another call coming in and I would have to call him back later. He said that was fine.
Did not call him back yet and get sick at the thought of it. I am back to not being able to eat much and feel like throwing up and crying. NOT GOOD PMA!!! I am not going to call him or talk to him until I get myself under control again. I know he is going to cycle back to me and back to her again, over and over until he gets something figured out in his head.
I wonder if school starting will have an effect on him. He seems really concerned about the kids and this will be a big reality check after the easy non-scheduled summer he had with them.
