It's not that she hated me it's just that she felt it was more important to not disclose what she felt inside and rather keep her cards close to her. I would not want that in my new relationship, I want to hear and see that my partner appreciates me, she cares about me and she loves me just as much as I do.


Dude. What is up with all these WAS's? Seems they are all cut from the same cloth. My stbx is the same. Would never say ILY unless I said it first. I always felt like it was terrifying for him to tell me anything nice, even a simple compliment because he felt he was "losing" by showing any sort of emotion (though that was not the case when he was pursuing me--ugh).

CG, how long did it take for you to start feeling this way (the death of your L for him)? Very curious to knwo how long it has been for others...

Hee hee! But seriously, he is lying to her about still being married to you? Oh dear GAWD. Yeah that will be an interesting day for them when the server shows up (though totally not your problem). Love that he was texting you he loves you while out with her. What a douche.
