And Beatrice, again, you know my H so well!! He said numerous times when he left that the reason he was against entering counseling or therapy with me or having a mediator was because he said that "in his mind, he had waited long enough for me to figure out what he needed/wanted in the marriage." I would say "why could you not tell me?" He would reply "You're my wife. You should know me well enough that I don't have to tell you. You should be able to figure it out."
NO LIE.
Guess what he said the last time I saw him? "My parents are pretty bad, but yours are no better because last year when I left you the first time they should have gotten involved." I said "how?" He said "they should have offered to mediate our reconciliation and they didn't. So they are no better than my parents."
Amazing, isn't it?
