Totally agree. I can't even imagine what would happen if my mom were to even see him... Reversely, I don't know if I can ever be close to his family again so that's something I'm thinking about too. Don't feel bad, I kept wondering if I would get a text or any news too.... Pretty good sign that he texted you the next am though I'm guessing? Maybe V-Day was a little too difficult?
Thankfully, I can keep paying and manage things by myself but that also makes your mind think, why is he even in my life? doesn't pay for anything, I can manage alone, and someone treats me like this? I don't even have access to our car! But on a positive note, all that biking, walking, and stomping through the snow is quite the workout! And that's the question I am struggling with.. wondering of I should just pick a date off the calendar and say by that date, if I haven't heard anything, I'm at least filing (maybe step one will be to get him to at least pay something towards the mortgage? Have to figure it out but kind of in denial and choosing the easy non stressful path at this point..
