But he always texts back some super nice thing like "You deserve to be happy. You are the nicest person I know -(Blah Blah Blah)". Why would a WAH say that nice stuff? To make the pain worse?
He feels guilty at that moment. If he can draw you in and make you walk away then it relieves his guilt and puts the blame on you.
It has nothing to do with making your pain worse. It is to try to lesson HIS PAIN.
This is all about him, they are selfish and not the person you married, but the opposute right now.
You can only take care of YOURSELF. Take the focus off of him and just work on YOU.
