Thanks for sharing your parent's story. Sounds a lot like mine.
The latest news here is that he says he has enjoyed the time he spent with me and the kids. He enjoyed seeing the kids and having "company". He then goes on to say that when we are together, he feels like he is with a really good friend. He says he didn't want to tell me because he was afraid he would hurt me.
I told him that I had pretty much moved on, and that those two days were "trial" for me too, that I was not hurt. I, on the other hand, need a little more then two days to make a decision on whether or not there is anything left to salvage. He insists that he is screwed up in the head, that a lot has happened between us, and he doesn't know what to think or feel anymore. Neither one of us has sought counseling over this, and he isn't going to. He also claims that he wants us to hang around together and be friends. I think that isn't a good idea since the kids may get false hope. Your story proved that theory, since you had no idea that your parents were dating. I don't want to see the kids go through all the pain again.
So, I am not sure what to think. I know he is definitely going through something, he is so moody. Happy one minute, deeply depressed the next. I don't know if he is in MLC or what. But I do know that it is all his to figure out. That for now, my life goes on as it was. I just don't appreciate the head games, the "I want you, wait, no I don't, wait, yes I do" I can't and won't play that game.
I just figure that this is probably normal process for people trying to reconcile to be doubtful at times. This to me just seems a but excessive and abnormal. Am I right? Am I doing the right thing by being done and continuing to move on?
