Yes, I did get out on the weekend. Summer is short here, so it is get out while you can.
Linda, I am so impressed with your fortitude and strength. You have been living with this for so long already! The distance keeps me pretty far from his actions so I don't see the crazy. But when we talked, I could hardly believe that he could say the things he did with a straight face. Like talking about other people's relationships and the train wreck that it is - without realizing that the one he is in the middle of is just as much a train wreck. The truth is, from his perspective, he wanted anyone but me. Wasn't sure about this one, but it might be someone else. Never once did he even come close to saying let's work on us.
You mentioned on your thread that you wondered if the MLCer ever understands what it is they have done to us. I wonder that, too. Will he continue to blame me that I did not want to keep up the friendship for the rest of his life? I guess if he gets stuck in the tunnel, he might. In that way, I would not want to be him and have to face what a horrible person I was to someone I said I loved.
Right now, though, I am still in the dark. And I am OK with that.
