Question, PLEASE, please tell me what you think...
I don't seem to be able to "VALIDATE" what he says, and now WH's talk about reconciling is fading.
He says it's not HIS fault that we are apart, that he did the right thing by leaving when he did, that he was saving us from growing apart, that he wants to be with me just not live with me. He doesn't want other people to think he's responsible for what's going on, I should tell people it was mutual, and maybe we can work from there. But everyone knows that he left, he told everyone at the time, made a huge deal about it.
Do I start to lie, say it was mutual, to see if that helps him get back some self-esteem in the relationship, or to validate what the MLCer says, in hopes of standing for the M, or just leave it be?
