tripletmother,

but I say give him more space and his “truth” may change as well.

I will try; I have nothing to lose. The thing is, I don't think he is going to feel differently for me unless he does spend more time getting to know me again, and slowly allow himself to feel comfortable here. But this would take time and work, and he has said he doesn't want this.

tell him you appreciate his honesty and how he shared his feelings with you. Try not to question or correct him or point out how this is hurting you
Ok. If I get the chance to, I will somehow get this message across to him. I don't want him to believe that I don't think his feelings are important. I do care about his feelings and thoughts; I just find them hard to believe.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I'm very sorry for what your H. has put you through, too. This is so unfair for all of us; we deserve love and happiness.





Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
