Wow! Quite the trip you had there, TP1025. The ABC breakdown is interesting in that it showed me that I have gone through all that for the past 7 years, and now, at last, divorce is imminent. Your Y is what I have come to believe at last. Although, I think I knew it all along. I did the detachment, the GAL, the no contact-ish, but there was always that teeny-tiny bit of hope. He helped me keep that hope by being nice, always coming home, calling me, etc. But, that hope is just dust now. I know he's not coming back to the marriage, and I'm not certain I would want him now. He's living his own secretive life on his business trips. Who knows what he's up to ... it's another H, away from us, his family.
As my new thread says, it's no longer my business what he does. Except where the children and our finances are concerned. Isn't it sad that it comes down to that. He was my best friend, and now he's my co-parent, and "business" partner.
They are confusing, but also confused, I think.
