4 years this June that my ex left... Final Fear?? fear of abandonment... I almost left him 3 yrs before he left us.. we were having the same problems, he was never home. I was tired of being alone. I was re-analizing my life. And i had came to the conclusion that it was no big deal... Our relationship was strong, the foundation was solid, he was a good person overall.. I stayed.. But the pain i caused him, damaged him to the point of him pulling away further from us.. Fear to be abandoned once again so he left.. He wants what my kids want... He doesn' t want me but doesn't want to be abandonned by me.... ???????
