Crazy little thing called MLC

[AJM]

Or maybe he doesn't want to face them right now? That's also part of it. My ex started (like so many) with confusion and then ILYBINILWY speech. That then turned to hatred of God and eventually of me and then cheating, lying, and running away from home and the kids. That's a pretty common story, no?

Does she remember things I said? Yes. But did she "hear" them? Nope. Even now, she misinterprets emails and such. It's really odd. She doesn't get what she wants and hones in on words, but not the meaning nor the sentence.

I take from that they won't "hear" until they are ready to. If that ever comes, I hope I am nowhere near because that'll be an ugly day rivaling what I saw before. Not interested in going through that with her again.

It's funny that they think they are unique. And sad. It says a lot about our culture that so many feel alone and unique in this. I don't think they are. I think they are let down by society as a whole because in our culture we don't talk about such things to our kids and younger generations. Until they are too far gone to go through it. Sad.

Many do regret it later. Not all, but many do. I look at my aunt, who now 30 years later talks about the regret with my sister sometimes. She does regret it and it's sad. She and my uncle are at least able to talk now, and seem friendly when they do. My uncle's wife doesn't like it in the least.

In the end, it's just life. And the story is never over until it's over. We may be done with a chapter in our lives, but the story continues regardless. We need to accept that. We need to accept the here and now because it's all we're going to get for certain. Everything else is a definite maybe

Life is good. Let's not let it pass us by, regardless of how things went along the way.

Peace,
AJ
