My W sent me a text to tell me she moved out. (Nice huh?) I think her conscience was weighing on her and it helped her feel better about herself to try to cushion the blow for me. (F-ing thanks!) Maybe that's what your H was doing. He may be trying deep down to reach for some way to tell himself that he is doing something right. Trying to convince himself that he's looking out for his kids. (Obviously he's not doing what's best for them so he's reaching for anything)
Maybe I'm reaching, but it makes sense that they try to do someing like that (give the warning) to feel better about themselves.
Me: 35 W: 31 S:9 M: 10 years Together 13 MySitch - Ups & Downs She moved out the day before Thanksgiving 2009, over 13 months post-bomb.
That's just sad. I cannot imagine not being affected by my children's tears. Clearly she isn't in her right frame of mind. I actually feel like of bad for our spouses. They have to live with what they've done.
I think I'd feel guilty forever if I pulled a stunt like this. This is why I can feel some shreds of empathy for my H. What he is doing is just sad. I hope he can repair the damage he is causing with his children.
He spent TG alone, and now he'll be alone on Christmas. It's heartbreaking...
My H has a lease on his apartment, so he won't be coming out of it anytime soon.
Will you be spending Christmas with your son? I usually dread Christmas, but this time I'm quite excited about the new traditions I'll be making with my kids.
