As for the apology, I honestly do not know what to make of it. He's apologized in the past, around 2005, for the things that he did while he lived with me, but it was not a sincere apology because in the next breath, he was asking for quite a few things from the home, which I used and still use today. Things I knew he didn't need in an apartment. Instead of taking hand lotion, soap, pencils, pens and crazy little things, he should have put forth the effort and took the things that he was looking for 3 years after the divorce. I am very much on my toes when it comes to his games and that is why I was direct in asking him what he wanted.
Time will eventually reveal what is up with him. He may not pop out of the rabbit hole again for another 5 years.
So you don't think he is just looking for validation of his apology?
I guess if my ex were ever to apologize to me I would just say thanks and you were forgiven ages ago.
And that would hopefully end the conversation.
Since those things are so far behind me, it really matters little what she would say.
Everyone have a happy thanksgiving! Eat lots of turkey, I know I will.
