I can get angry just like anyone. However, I have this horrible (not really horrible out-of-context) problem of not being mad for very long. My stbx is very aware of this, and has used it to her benefit over the years. I don't mean to say I let her walk over me, but I just cannot stay mad that long.
Now here I am in the middle of a bad situation, have just moved out, and am trying to maintain the fact I'm upset, angry, hurt...but I am beginning to have trouble doing so. I am just geared to start moving on rather quickly (like the terminator I suppose; j/k :o). I actually find myself purposely trying to get upset at times b/c I feel like I should be. It works sometimes and doesn't others.
The other bad side to that though, is that I am beginning to not be angry that my wife was fooling around with someone, quit on the marriage, and so forth. I can tell she has begun to notice that as well based on my demeanor.
I honestly do not think she would do what I would require to get back together (leave where she works (he is there), stop hanging out w/ the friends she has (they are there too and don't care about it), and so forth). However, I am having the problem of just not letting go of the whole thing and trying to move on. If it makes any sense, I could move on w/ or w/out her when I am not actively irritated by the situation. It is like I could just basically act as if it never happened, or I could move on with life and be fine, although, I know that the life I had is what I really want. I know, that life is gone. But I can't help still wanting it. Couple that with lack of resolve and boom, I'm right back home in 2 months like nothing happened.
How do I keep that resolve to my purpose of moving on w/o her when I can't stay mad about it?
