Hey SF... that's nuts. Not sure about your whole story, but why did he come back after three years gone? What made you think things would be different?
That's for my own curiosity...
But what about you? What made him think that life with you would be different?
Just wondering. I don't expect to be where you are because I really don't see life with my W would be any different and I can't imagine being the H my W appears to want.
But I wonder... what if we did R...? What would prevent it from being more of the same?
He came back basically because he could no longer afford to live on his own and he needed to move back in. I was happy again, and of course closer to the person he fell in love with, so that part is kinda obvious.
As for why I thought he'd be different; I guess I was hopeful. I even knew he hadn't really made changes, that they were only "surface" changes- just the motions he was going through. Call it naive I guess, or rose colored glasses, or dreamland....
I've always been the person to see the best of people (I guess that's why I teach)... I've always wanted believe H would change... I also hate being wrong
