THE AWAKENING! 

First let me just say THANKS to everyone who helped vote for me on 

Merzeta.com.  I'm still on top! YEEHAW....

Ok, now back to reality....

 The ex is now having the awakening. A year and a half later.

He's calling, crying, moaning about how hard his life is now.  Boo hoo.

Financial problems, no motivation to work, bankruptcy blah, blah, blah.

Ya know what....Its still all about him. Yep, just him!

 

Although it really hurts me to hear him, I feel this pulling sensation to

wrap my arms around him and tell him its going to be ok.  I truly still

love him, miss him, want him and my family back together.

 

I really believe the only reason he's in such agony is because his

pathetic girlfriend/mistress/bitch can't stand him anymore either.  Gee,

what a surprise?  He never had a relationship lasting more than a

year before me.  14 years I gave this man, took his abuse, cared for

him, ran our business, cleaned the house etc, etc, etc.....

 

 I really feel bad for my cheating, lying, abusive ex.  Too bad he's so

stupid he can't even grovel well. 

 

 And what effect is this going to have on our 10 yr old son?  I told him

he better not behave like this in front of him.  I could have him hauled

off by the guys in the white coats if necessary.  He has mentioned the

S word.  But he's all talk, his bandaid is no longer available and now

after all this time, HE'S FINALLY FEELING IT!!!! Yeah, that's really what

it is.  Its finally caught up to him.  All this time I've been alone and

dealing with the immense pain and I'm feeling somewhat better.  He's

just starting to deal with it.  Now he's the pathetic one!

What do I do, hang up on him?  Tell him to move on?  Comfort him?

I'm confused............

He's a big boy now, and can take care of himself!!  He's finding out that it's not that great on the other side of the street-the grass ain't greener.  And yeah could you blame his tramp for getting tired of him the honeymoon phase is over and she sees him for who he truly is!!  Stay strong and let him fight his own battles.  Fight the urge to pick up his pieces, he doesn't deserve to have any help in all this.  He made his bed let him lay in it now!!

At about the same point (1 1/2 yrs post break up), my ex began acting like I was the only friend he could turn to about his miserable life. I actually loved hearing about how the OW was cheating on him and how abusive she had become. It just wasn't healthy for me.  It still hurt and part of me wanted to wrap my arms around him too, but mostly I just wanted to put my hands around his neck.  LOL

I had quit feeling sorry for my ex so I could move on. I reminded myself daily that he got everything he asked for, it just wasn't what he wanted. Everything he wanted was right in front of him for 20 years, he was just too selfish to see it until it was too late.

Tell him it's time he talk to somebody else because you aren't going to listen anymore. It's too late. You need to stop feeling "that pulling sensation".  It will get easier, but not until you let him go.

I would probably hang up on  him! But since in your case you have a son together, that would be difficult to keep hanging up....but I would not feel sorry for him, definitely not. 

Like cherbear said, tell him to go for therapy or whatever....it's not your responsibility anymore...

Good Luck....

BB, I'm with Cherbear.

Really, all you need to do is say, "I'm sorry you're hurting; I hurt for you.  But I am not the one to help you with your pain.  For your own sake, you need to find another way to deal with it."  Doing that allows you to speak what is true for you--that you really do care for him--while at the same time maintianing a healthy boundary.  Because as you know, he isn't interested in YOU, he's interested in an anesthetic...if he was interested in you, he'd be singing a very different tune.

betabear, you need to just let him go. cut the strings because once he sees that you are the least bit interested he will start everyting all over again. you will be hurt all over, and worse than now. let him suffer like you have. dont feel sorry for him . you can tell him to go to therapy, and that person will help him.
