Portia, I agree with you. There is no justification for the lousy behavior, even if somebody is going through MLC. I’m pretty sure that my H thinks that he didn’t do anything wrong by treating me like a stranger. After all, he was honest from the beginning that he wanted to start a new phase of his life. He also didn’t think that it could hurt me when he chose to start an affair with the cousin of our close friends.

I could understand his desire to be happy and he felt trapped in the M, but it doesn’t justify how treated me. We went weeks without a contact, it felt like never mattered to him. But at the same time he kept the connection one way or another. I wish that one day he will realize how hurtful his behavior was towards me.
