In my W's case, I believe she doesn't want to lead me on. I've been out of the house five months but on four separate occasions asked about counseling, or a marriage class.
CTH, I think you are correct my X wants me to feel like there is absolutely no chance of even thinking of getting back together. So she takes the proactive approach and dogs me out on the front end.
She has previously said she must be mean to me or else I would be mean to her (which I don't believe I really ever have). We have had a few heated discussions, but only a few really.
It is funny how she makes it a point to tell me that I have not changed a bit, that I have not learned anything (assumeing about our breakup). I have heard another common friend tell me that she was saying too little too late. Wow.. She never really looks at what she brought into this mix.
When I tried to reconcile previously, she told me her friends would be upset with her if she did. She also told me that it would be a good deal for me to reconcile, but not really so much for her. Wow again. We do have a child together. Talk about short sighted.
We have been separated for over two years now. One would think the anger would subside by now. Maybe to a certain degree it has, but it is still there for sure.
She asked me the other day if I was having my D around OW. I asked why she even asked me that question and I asked her if she had my D around her BFs. Usually If I ask anything on her side she is flippin. She said she did answer me and that she does not have a BF. Why would she even tell me that?
