In a counselling session once, I was explaining how if we break up, that means I lose contact with his family and don't get to see my nieces and nephews grow up. He said that his family love me, and would want to keep in touch with me, and there's no reason I couldn't still see them and vice versa. I pointed out that the only times we really get to see them all are for things like birthday parties and mother's day, etc. I asked if he thought we would both be able to go along to such events, just sit at opposite ends of the table and not speak to each other, and not have anyone else feel uncomfortable about it. I even threw in the option of him taking along a new girlfriend to such an event, and did he think we'd all be able to get along just fine as though nothing was weird at all.

His reponse: Yeah...maybe.

Delusional much? I don't remember if I laughed when he said it, but I totally should have.

I'd also like to add a little something I just mentioned in another thread. Along with all the usual cliches he trotted out when we were initially separated, he even included, (and I hope you all love this as much as I do):

"No matter what happens, you're my best friend and always will be."

Says he who is now wanting to cut contact with me completely and for good.
