Hi AJM, I went back and read through your very first posts. I like to do that and see how everything starts with other people. And I can see that it starts out the same for all of us! I care about you, but not in love with you, and haven't loved for years! Then the blame for misery follows suit. Damn.
I noticed you said your Ex was hyper aware of things in your first post.
I was curious, why do you think they go through hyper aware modes, or maybe hyber nostalgic?
I noticed my Ex going through hyper aware mode, and still does I think. All the sudden someone that couldn't remember what I told him 2 days before remembered every last detail in this house, where things were, when it was purchased, things we did 18 years before....it was weird! Heck a month ago he was asking me what hotel we stayed at 12 years ago when we were out of town for a weekend.
I find that odd...the hyper aware/memory/nostalgic.
