Did I forget the "I love you, but not in love with you?" speech?
That’s her saying I don’t respect you. She loves you like she loves a helpless child but not as a romantic partner. She doesn’t view you as a high quality man and doesn’t trust you.
Very common in these situations. Your goal is to make sure you never hear those words again in your next relationship.
Yeah, and she is right. I've thought it over, and for at least the last year we both never really acted in love back.
I'll be stopping the emotional dumps today, and let her know it's no longer appropriate.
We did have a chat on what happens after the house sells. I'll be moving close, to her and her parents, there could be one common dinner a week, and I'd love to pop in mornings to play with D2, or evenings to give a bath. But I made it clear, my days are my days.
Right now my world is upside down and I have to declutter the house in preparation for a quick sale. Not happy about the timing, but she has a point that the longer we wait, the less $ we will get.
I realize she's going to continue to blur boundaries of XW and W until a new R. It's going to be hard for me because I really get along with her father in law, but I need to accept that relationship is over too.
I'm also started reaching out to the few friends I haven't seen in a while, as part of GAL. I also realise I've spent too long with W friends and never spent enough time with mine.
