As best as I could understand my H (which clearly is not my strong suit!) I think he wanted me to know he was miserable also and I wasn't the only one suffering. That is what I took from what he expressed to me.
The very last straw for me was that BS he pulled with Seattle. It was also then he told me how horrible things are with his GF, how they almost broke up four times, how she is so jealous of me and their R is not all roses but he decided to stick it out. I actually listened to this crap for a while then thought NO WAY, you have got to be KIDDING ME and that was really the last time we spoke.
I can't even think about it as it still makes me very upset. My H who is STILL with his affair calls HIS WIFE to complain about the R with the woman he cheated on HIS WIFE with. I clearly was insane to listen to that for one second.
OMG! I can't imagine having to hear about a GF. My H complains finances. I know he does it because he knows I'll help. I need to work harder on that.
