Always wondering and so tired 

How do you ever stop wondering? I have spent a lot of time wondering how to get out of my head and on with my life. I still have a lot of love in my heart for my ex and I'm tired of wondering. Wondering if his being nicer, extra attempts at affection, slightly more vocal about what happened between us are ways of him trying to show me he wants to work things out, or his way of putting blinders on me so i don't see what life after him would look like? Tired of wondering why I have yet to see this mysterious extra phone he has,  never on his person when he comes around. Tired of telling myself to believe him when he says he's not with her anymore but not able to get rid of this pit in my stomach which tells me otherwise. Tired of wondering how much longer i am going to allow myself to be played. This is what it feels like. He knows I am still very vulnerable when it comes him and plays on that and then it's like it never happened. Like he didn't say I love you, I miss you and then it goes back to status quo. Everytime I see a personal's ad or a friend offers to set me up I can't do it. It's depressing. I didn't sign up for this. I wanted to be married once and for the rest of my life. I'm afraid of what's out there but am afraid of being alone.

 

We have been seperated for 17 months and the divorce is under way. How can I ever get myself to stop wondering? I guess it will only happen when he is ready to be honest. It hurts because I don't believe that will ever happen. How can I truly let go of someone who says they still love me and miss me but doesn't do anything about it?

If he's serious, see if he'll go to counseling with you.  It can't hurt.

I don't think you'll ever know, lvmykids. Look around here, lot of people have gotten divorced because of a repeated cheating spouse. But on the other hand, the reasons for doing so in some cases vanish and the spouse really does want to work things out. They cheated not because they didn't love but for some other reason that no longer exists. No one here knows your husband or the circumstances well enough to tell you if he's being honest with you or not. But you have to follow your instincts, you know him best. If you have doubts, they are probably well founded.

My husband was doing something similar and I was the same way. I recently got confirmation on all the lies he had been telling me. I am not sad and lonely anymore, I am angry. Your husband sounds a lot like mine. He is a first class manipulator. He keeps you hanging by being nice to you and giving you hope, I think. Maybe he is hoping to get his way with the divorce? It is cruel and I would wonder if what he is saying is even close to true.

I have discovered that the best thing for me to do is put my game face on and focus on myself and my son by figuring out what is best for us. It also helps to take your mind off the lying, cheating ex. Maybe hitting the gym or going for a run would help too? I wish you luck.
