Blu, you have described my "nice guy" perfectly in your description. Just as Phoebe did. He's such a nice guy that he is D me because "he made me miserable" and D me is probably "MY best shot at happiness". I "just need to realize that I don't really like him".
I'm with Phoebe, though. Do I get the book and say, "yep, that's him!"? I'm still holding out hope, even though I believe we'll see this D through. Since our house sold and closes in less than a month and I can move into my apartment in 2 weeks, I'm thinking NC (for real) will truly happen. I'm interested in how that will play out though.
He's had excuses to make contact with me and me with him with all of the house stuff, but that will be over with soon. I truly have no idea if he calls sometimes just to check on me, using the house or finances as an excuse. Other times, if I bring up something he promised he'd do, especially if it has to do with money, he feels pressured and is not Mr. Nice Guy anymore.
I will be able to move forward then. What were some of the reasons your H gave for his behavior and leaving when it happened? What did he say they were when he came out of the fog when he came back? I guess I'm interested in hearing the differences between what he let you know and what was really going on in his head, or if there were any?
And yes, you should go back and get a psyche degree...that's kinda what I'm shooting for, LOL.
