I think I had another "uh huh!!" moment...

I mentioned before that when xW and I first met, we knew each other only a couple days, and she shared her entire ugly past with me. It was a test, or a ploy for sympathy, I don't know which. Subconsciously it was a test for both of us to set up the codependent relationship that followed.

2 weeks before BD, she told me she thought her anti-depressants were off, she thought she was starting menopause, she was upset about the abortion, all in the same conversation. Again, a retest, or a ploy for sympathy? She was looking once again to be saved? That was her method of trying to strengthen the relationship? Or test the strength of? Or just general conversation that I am reading too much into?
