THE SHOW MUST GO ON

[TRUSTING]

I just know that I cannot be on the front line of my ex's misery. I don't want to live my life that way. I forget that sometimes, but all i need is to spend 10 minutes with him and I realize that I was lucky to get out when I did. One has to be in a lot of pain to cause/create all the pain that they give. It is no excuse though for what they do.

My ex is a traveler (runner) from all his pain. He has been on 50+ trips since our divorce. The last trip he went on was a couple of months ago to Hawaii with OW. He texted me to tell me he would not be able to have the kids that week. I texted him back, "have a good trip, but don't you get tired of running"? He has not taken a trip since which is unusual since he goes on 2-3 per month. I just hope a little bit is sinking in his thick head. He is seeking external happiness and not finding it.
