zues, I also hope more then anything that your analysis of my husband is true.
You are right. It's hard for me to see the positive.. That he did not file or start a new relationship. He said he needed space. He said that he did not want to live. (Not that he was suicidal) that he couldn't survive without leaving ( he was having serious cardiac problems..that I always tried to help him with). I did not hear this. I only saw the negative...that he left and caused me tons of pain. My family has demonized him and he cannot understand it.
Actually, it's hard for me to see the positive but it's harder for me to stay committed to the positive when my emotions (feeling rejected, hurt, vilified, conned) take over. This is really what I need to learn.
Thank you for this perspective.
