If your H is wondering if your new friend is "better" then he is still very vested in the false ideal that one person can provide happiness to another.
As with many of the WAS (and it seems to be the husbands that walk away and do this) he would like you to think he MAY have worked things out had you just done one thing different. It's all BS.
Your H is a very, very guilty man and the way he communicates with you clearly spells it out. As long as you he can dump everything on you.... how "wrong" you are then he lets himself off the hook.
My H and your H are very unhappy people. That is not mind reading it is fact. Nobody in their right mind constantly texts their soon to be ex wife (in the midst of a court battle) with all this BS because they are content. We should not even be blips on their radar since they are SO happy but somehow every few days we both are.
I am so tired of men that talk. Action is the only thing I will consider responding to and the action must have my comfort and security in mind 110%. Talking is for wimps. Nobody in the midst of a divorce keeps TALKING about what they hope or want and not do a thing about it. It's all hot air and a very abusive form of manipulation. You want a divorce then BE GONE and STAY GONE. Simple.
I don't want to hear about anybody being "worn down" or "confused" or "scared" or who has what "missing" from their life. Man up and make a change or go text somebody that is interested in your endless BS and talking. If men only knew how stupid the sound when they talk, talk and talk some more yet keep doing things the same way. Lame. Boring. Disgusting.
Trust me - the longer this goes on the worse it gets. One can only change their e-mail address and block texts and calls for so long. I am tired of it and I think you are too.
