At the beginning of my ex's mid life crisis he said something to me I will never forget. He said "you really don't know who I am". I really did know my ex inside and out. I new his strengths and weaknesses, I knew all his family baggage. It got to the point that he did not like that I knew all of this and ran. He chose the denial over his family.
