If you love someone, it shouldn't take time to say, you're right we shouldn't be texting our feelings. Or, you're right, there's no room for the ex in this marriage and I need to figure out how to be with my friends without her. Or, I'm sorry I yelled in your face and was disrespectful and mocked your feelings. Or, I would like to keep working on this marriage...


Well, first thing is that we need to realize that we are thinking rationally - or maybe in a whole different way, or universe, than what our WWs are. They don't, obviously.

Seems simple to me, but I guess the feelings aren't there


Sorry to say, but this is probably the correct answer.

Before we got married, he was always telling me how marriage is forever, and then this is how he behaved during marriage. Is this the manipulative behavior of a liar?


Manipulative behavior of a liar? Possibly. Or maybe he was sincere at the time, or THOUGHT he was. That's possible, too. Maybe he was rebounding and you came in at the wrong time. There are so many what-ifs there, that you really can't dwell on it.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
