But this settling-for-less thing ... that I should be glad she's willing to carve out this much space in her life for me, that I'm somehow worth that much but no more.
...
Why would I want to hear anything about her life without me? Why would she want to hear about mine? "Congratulations on all the great things that are happening to you."
These are my feelings exactly. I was, in poker terms, all in with STBXW and she didn't want that. I get it now. I lost all my chips and I'm going to get up from the table and head out. I'm certainly not going to sit around and cheer her on.
If we didn't have daughters I'd never talk to her again. I have enough friends. She was supposed to be the friend that was always at my back.
