Quote: There is something I really don’t get. If he’s so sure he was unhappy here, why when we talk does he show me how miserable he still is? Why not at least try to put on a happy act? Isn’t he just proving he’s made a mistake?
Hope,
I'd love to know the answer to this question myself. My H too is obviously unhappy without me but I think some things you just have to learn on your own. Several times I've told my H something that is very obvious like "ripe strawberries are red" and he wouldn't believe me. Then later he'd learn this on his own and come back and tell me as if I hadn't been trying to tell him it all along.
That said, NYs is right. Other than buying yourself some beautiful and much deserved jewelry, what have you been doing for yourself? Perhaps this is hard for so many of us because in doing this we are in a way moving on from our old life. Just a thought to chew on.
