Another LBH (kinda) pt. 2

[LH19]

So I responded (you all knew I would!) but at least I waited 9 hours FWIW.

Wow she must have been on pins and needles lol.

I just said that yes we had a good time and within a minute she responded "cool!" and that's been it. She went and liked all the photos I've put on Facebook of me and the boys.

It's never the response your looking for that is why it pointless because you have expectations.

Definitely feeling more defeated this morning. Just had a nice little breakdown but luckily the kids are all asleep.

This is good salty good. This will continue for more then likely years.

More and more I wake up to the fact that things are really bad and going to get worse.

Yes so prepare yourself. It ha to get worse before it gets better.

I was in denial with the way she would be so nice to me and reach out to me, but she was just pitying me.

You are a wise man Salty dog. You don't need her fuching pity.

It seems like most are in the "I'm divorced now but happier than ever camp" which is both frightening and encouraging at the same time.

Although it's impossible for you to see at the time, this is 100% survivable no matter how it goes. I've been happier divorced than I was for years being married. I 100% believe in marriage, and I miss the feeling and comfort of "being married" but I do not miss my ex at all, and her behavior should not have been tolerated for as long as it was. At the time I couldn't see it, I thought she was the most wonderful woman ever, and that certainly I could fix this. I was wrong on both counts.

This is the value of hind sight, and unfortunately for most people, you can't absorb it until you're ready.
