I told him that every time he does something like this is sets me back and I can't do it anymore. He said he didn't mean to cause me to start thinking about him,

And with that I am done. I have done the right thing throughout this entire episode and mostly the right things in my marriage, and can no longer bear the pain that comes from his rejection of our life together every time he pops up. I deserve to be loved by someone who is able to truly love and who appreciates all I have to offer.
This should be the mantra for all of us, only when we finally accept ourselves and recognize what we have to offer, are we free of this pain. A relationship is a gift, not an entitlement. I hope you find the right person who can appreciate the gift they are given.
I am not sure if you are already done, gone, moved on, but if you read this: Greatwhitenorth, you are a great role model for a lot of people here, have a great life, eh!
