She moved out to rental down the street. Signed a lease for a year. It’s much less of a house than ours. I’ve been on the road for a full year, almost to the day of BD. So we’re starting our new normal.
I was a little taken aback that she moved so close. I feel boundaries are going to be an issue.
She now follows a bunch of narcissist hashtags on IG. So this went from:
-ILWYBINILWU on BD to... -I don’t hate you I’m just done - for a couple months to... -Spewing anger - for a few months to... -We’re still a family just a different looking family - for a few months to... -A narcissist manipulator she just just discovered she had been living with for 20 years.
She wanted space, then she wanted me to chase; I loved you for so long, then we were never a good match.
It’s as if she’s cycling between wanting to “be cool” with the breakup and just move on, and needing to hold onto the anger to justify the actions.
