The Road Not Taken

[JFun51]

Terrible morning. 6am W gets a text that wakes me up. Tries to lie saying she is checking to time. Leads to R talk. I get it all again.

-I told you I'm done
-I don't love you
-You just go on and be Mr Mom. Have at it
-I have told you everything
-Everything is fake
-What am I supposed to do?
-I don't want to hear about you trying to be better.
-Just leave. You've had plenty of chances.
-If you don't want me texting beside you at night, don't come to bed.
-I haven't been happy in a long time.
-This isn't a MLC. This is something that has taken a long time.
-You are just trying to be a martyr.
-You're just better than me.
-OM has filled a hole for me.
-I don't need a man.
-What are we supposed to do?
-I stopped talking to him for 2 weeks to work on things here.
-You've just never been here for me.
-I've done everything for 10 years.
-Sitting in the church pew with you is a joke.
-How am I supposed to believe you've flipped a switch?
-I am not leaving. I'll take the kids and it's not fair to uproot them.
-Even S10 sees you saying things and tells me not to fight.

I tried to validate every time I was attacked. I sympathized and listened. The only point that I didn't let go was the money. She's burned through the money that was supposed to pay bills. I have a bonus check that was supposed to be kept for the boys Christmas that I'll now have to use for bills.

Nuggets while she was talking:
-Maybe I just needed a break from everything.
-I've gotten tired of taking care of everyone.
-Everything we do is a choice.
-Real love is something you shouldn't have to work at. Marriage, yes.

Yuck. On top of it all, I have to go to a funeral today.
