According to H, he agreed to MC because it was going to cost him a fortune to divorce me. He broke off A with OW because I was going to contersue for adultery. His official story is he's mad at me because I'm a blackmailer.
I don't buy it, completely. I think somewhere in him, he knows he is making a mistake. The children are really upset with him.There is the money angle, for sure. But I wouldn't stay and break off R with the love of my life for any amount of money. So, I call BS on his official version.
However, I'm not interested in a half-marriage with an adulterous verbal abuser. We start counseling in two weeks, and Retrouaville around the same time. I'm willing to see where it goes, but not willing to go on forever like this. I love the kids enough to try, but I am not holding out a lot of hope. We'll just have to see.
In the meantime, I'm giving him space to mourn his lost love, as much as it irritates me. Az had a good point...I would feel badly for him if his dog had died, no matter how much I despised the ugly thing.
This Divorce Busting is at once the hardest single thing I've ever had to do, as well as one of the most personally rewarding and personal growth experiences I've ever done, as well. I'm honestly still in shock the entire thing is happening at all!
