He's telling friends he thinks we'll reunite

[MarieC]

You know what's really strange to me? He pursued me for well over a year, taking me to dinner and helping me edit a (really tough) book project (no one in their right mind would have voluntarily helped with that monster unless they were really into the stuck-ee who had to edit it.) He was patient and kind (I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and didn't want anything but friendship) and persistent and patient...

But when I confronted him about the drinking and said I was worried he wouldn't finish his thesis, for him it was just OVER... and he started a new relationship with the bimbo within two weeks (!! I don't know if I told you earlier but 2 of the local taxi drivers, on asking me what my husband was doing with that "stupid cow," told me she was easy!) He moved in with her just a few weeks after that, lying to me for that whole time and acting outraged that I thought he was having an affair.

I read somewhere that in MLC people often "affair down," and man, is that the case here.

I'm trying to find clarity and it keeps eluding me. One thing I know for sure, though - even though he told my friend he misses me and loves me and thinks we'll reconcile, he's still with that bimbo and actions speak louder than words. He can send me all the kind, concerned emails he wants, but at the end of the day he goes home to the bimbo.

And that still weighs so heavy on my heart.
