That one, along with all of the other just charming answers you think he would give you (or has given you) about why he is back in the house, makes me wonder why on earth you would actually want to remarry him I'm lost here. When my H moved back home it was only going to be with bowing to the alter of LFL (at least for a little while ) Similar to what we have been telling GEL of late regarding how her H should be acting right now.
Why do you let him get away with that BS!!



Well, you do have a point here. I guess I feel that X does (in his own way -- which, ultimately, may not be enough for me) love me as much as he is capable of loving anyone.

That doesn't answer the question of why I put up with it. But I've been (post-divorce) in other relationships. And in none of them (even with Steve who I looooved madly) did I feel the kind of connection I feel with X.

Maybe it's that I'm subconsciously recreating my own f*cked-up childhood. Maybe I have intimacy issues of my own, and feel more comfortable with someone who doesn't want to get too close.

Maybe it's just that I've known X for so long and am reluctant to trade him in for some, hypothetical "Y"

You know, the whole "devil you know" thing.

I don't know. But, of course, if I did know, I wouldn't be here.
