Second MLC?? Is that possible?

[2Times2Many]

Well, here I am a week later and things are not good.

H keeps telling me how happy he is that we are talking and we are friends again. But, in the course of the conversation, he also said he had dinner with OW and that he was trying to figure things out and apologized for making me wait for him.

Then he went 3 days with no contact. When he finally emailed, he said he was just really busy with "business stuff". Then answered some questions I had asked 4 days earlier and ended with another apology for keeping me in limbo.

I replied that he was not keeping me in limbo, that the direction in my life didn't depend on what he did or what decisions he made. I told him that right now I didn't know what direction that would be or who would travel with me, but I did know that I wouldn't choose a life like the one I have lived for the past 6 months.

That set him off. This morning when I got up I had a nasty email basically telling me to *#&% off and then a text with an image of a girl with half her face blue and the other half black and the caption: Best thing about the worst time in you life is you get to see the true colors of people you cared for. Then he changed his profile picture to one with a look that said "Hah! Take that!" I was just stunned.

A few hours later, he phoned the office and I was hesitant to talk. He asked didn't I want to talk to him, so I said sure and caught him up on a couple of business issues and said everything else was normal. He got angry and just said to put (another employee) on the phone. I said sure and did it.

I think he is trying to get me to apologize to him for whatever I did that he feels was hurtful AND he is looking for a reaction to his stunt this morning - neither of which he will get.

I know he is trying to figure out how he can live in both of his worlds - why he still wants me around is a mystery to me. You don't do that kind of stuff to a friend, much less someone you say you love. To me, that kind of stuff borders on abuse.

I have an appointment with an attorney next week - just to get my ducks in a row.

I am so glad I can come here to vent.
