X continues to demonstrate more interest in I think I believe his MLC rants now, that he didn't really love me. I didn't want to believe them But I think I believe them now. I think I was someone he got together with because I was responsible, which meant he didn't have to be.
Amazing how rewritten history starts to blend in with what was real as TIME goes by.
I am sure you did not get married because the two of you didn't love each other.
During MLC they are incapable of love. I do not believe one minute that your ex did not love you. They are projecting their "unlovable" feelings about themselves. Don't buy into his rants, I won't let you.

I hear you here. Especially the colored part. I believe I was convienent, confident, competant, and in the end that's what he wanted to be himself and I didn't serve his purposes anymore.

Sometimes I think I see some progress in X's behavior (in terms of him being more mature and showing an interest in D) but today was not one of those days.
I just do not think D is a priority to X. In one breath I hear that he is not up for this and that--then he is off on vacation, probably w/New Woman.
I find myself thinking some on what I would think if I were in New Woman's shoes. She is not OW because X was divorced when he met her. But does she wonder why X is going on vacation without his kid and without having vacation time WITH his kid?
Note to singles: It's a red flag if someone is willing to vacation with you but does not express any sort of desire to spend more time w/his or her kids.

He could be playing the victim to NW, saying that you are limiting access or something like that.

I was thinking that I haven't spoken w/X in a serious conversation for so long, I do not know who he is any more. I do not know if I would like him any more.
But...sometimes I still miss him. If that makes any sense.
Again, I am not sure I would ever be fully "over" him. There has been so much damage.
Otherwise, I have worked hard on myself and my life. I think I have created a nice life for D.
