He is HER problem now...
| Wed, 05-05-2010 - 10:03pm |
On the tail of Alice's thread of Why Affairs Suck, I wanted to toss out something slightly related. I have been thinking a lot lately about how I went from wanting to spend the rest of my life with XMM to feeling relieved that he is out of my life. It really feels like I dogded a bullet. I was so blind to his faults that I didnt see any of them. The A fog is a powerful mask.
I used to fall asleep wanting to be the one lying next to XMM, I wanted to trade places with his wife

Honestly - the BEST laugh I have had in a long long while! I was just talking with my BFF tonight about all the reasons why I was lucky to not be HER. I'm working on my list - I'll get back to you. But for now, he's absolutely a total substance (ab)using nightmare. Blackouts and all. Yikes.
No thanks. If I wanted to repeat my childhood, there are other experiences I would prefer.
Thank you GMLB - you're freaking amazing!
TU.

I like this thread a ton, surprised more have not chimed in, maybe this bump will help. this is revealing and positive.
gmlb, everything you said plus
1. My exap was a starting qb for a division one school. He has this hang up because he never went pro...my almost exH did. He was pretty well known and ran in the same circles as my H, never friends or even close but these guys all know or have heard of one another.
