Its over, I just need to admit it to myself! 

It has been one of the most painful and confusing weeks since our April 15 separation.  He missed two marriage counseling appointments this week.  He used the "I was working" excuse both times and blamed me for making appointments when I "know" he cannot make it.  The last appointment was at 9 pm and he still could not make it.  I called him to tell him I was finished with this emotional nightmare and he refused to accept that.  Since that call, I did exactly what I said I would not do:  Contact him.  I sent him a text last night and he called and totally freaked out on me because I "woke him up".  He yelled and screamed at me for texting and waking him and not respecting "boundaries" (which I don't know exactly what that means).  I feel worse because I did exactly what I promised myself I would not do, contact him.  The ironic thing about the text was the content.  I woke up and missed him so much and just wanted him to know that even with all that has transpired, I still wake and miss him in the middle of the night!  He certainly did not react the way I had hoped he would.

 

I am not sure why I continue to allow this man to treat me so poorly, yet I still have feelings for him.  He has show me so many times that he doesn't want this yet I believe what he says when he tells me all he needs i time and space to figure things out.  I am going to give it my best shot and not contact him at all and let the cards fall wehre they may.   

 

I need a reality check again and maybe even a written "beating".

I understand your desire to call him. I have called my ex husband to let him know that I still love him and I get no response. What can I expect, he is a rock who DOES NOT WANT ME BACK! So I have to learn to accept it and also learn to let go.

My ex husnband has told me that no contact is the best way to go because if we have any type of contact it will only make it harder for us to let go and brake the couple bond. It truly brakes my heart but he is being rational and I think he is doing it the right way. Having contact will only prolong the pain/healing process. Although I know he is right...I am still following my heart and hormones and as we all know...OUR HEARTS AND HORMONES ARE NOT THE BEST LEADERS. 

It's hard but we must do the same. Having contact only beats us up. Now...I know that having no contact really does work. I feel better when I don't call him.We really have to commit to moving forward and the first step is to accept that they are no longer available for us anytime we wish. They are not calling us...we are doing the calling...that itself speaks louder than our own actions.

THEY DON'T WANT US. THEY DON'T CARE. THEY DON'T WANT TO CARE ANYMORE. US CALLING THEM ONLY GIVES THEM POWER AND PUTS THEM ABOVE US. WE ARE ONLY LETTING THEM KNOW WE ARE WEAK AND THEY HAVE A GREEN LIGHT TO MESS WITH OUR HEADS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My therapist says that divorce is not about love, its about behavior becoming so unacceptable that one party refuses to  live with it anymore, even though they may still love that person. Your feelings are normal.

Nope, it sounds like you're already doing a good job of beating yourself up. If you didn't want the divorce to begin with then it's only natural that you would have these feelings of wanting him back. But while having these feelings is ok, acting on them isn't. You already know that he's no good for you. You already know that you'r relationship won't work. You know this! Unfortunately you just have to deal with the lonliness for now. It'll get better (that phrase should be trade marked by a divorcee). Do WHATEVER it takes to stay strong. If you're afraid you'll call him, then give your phone to a friend or run out of the house or something. All this going back and forth is just prolonging your pain. You can do this, you'll be surprised how strong you are and what you can endure. Good luck.

HE DOESN'T WANT YOU!!  GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD ALREADY.  HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN YOU, HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FEELINGS, GOT IT?


How's that for a written beating?  :-)

OH, AND GET UP OFF YOUR HANDS AND KNEES TRYING TO BEG HIM TO COME BACK TO YOU.  HE DOESN'T WANT TO!

Okay, I'm done.  Hope that helped.  ((hugs))   P.S.  You deserve to be with a man where you will be his world.  And you'll never meet him until you close this chapter, so get on it.
