He's in a rehab/sober living house 2 hours away since Saturday. Probably just getting the last of the drugs out of his system since it was an impressive month-long off-and-on binge and since he was smoking something in the car on the way up there with the side chick driving (he almost jumped ship in downtown L.A.).
He's calling and texting me all this sweet B.S. because he's trying to keep me in the relationship, but he doesn't know that I know ALL about him and the side chick and others. I'm waiting for him to get a little more stabilized before I tell him he can't come back to me. I don't think I'm going to bring up the other women though; challenging his "livelihood" might provoke too much of a sociopathic backlash, so instead I'm just trying to come up with a plausible "It's not you, it's me, the feeling is gone and I just can't get it back, I just don't want a man in my life right now" kind of BS excuse that sounds FIRM enough.
He's full of "oh, I'm doing the work, I'm gonna earn my way back to you " but I KNOW he is not admitting at ALL to his grifting and other issues with women. I'm just looking for the safest exit strategy that won't provoke him.
