I am just wondering if its 'normal' for the spouse that's being walked out on, to make things so bad that you ask yourself if you ever really knew the person. How was it for you?

anytime you break up with a person you cared about is bad.
the most important thing to do is get over it and learn from it.
but most of all not drag up your past if you do maybe you are not truly over it bouquet

The last break-up... not bad at all. In fact, we are still very close & keep in contact regularly.


Though... once upon a time, I did have a break-up go very, very bad.
uh oh

The separation from my first husband was mutul agreement ... We also agreed to be supportive of each other as much as possible so that each of us would be able the rebuild their life and so that our children would not suffer any more than they already were going to!!!

Then after the separation he started acting like a jerk and it grew in intensity until he turned into a complete b*stard whether it affected the children or not!!!

I had the great pleasure of seeing him "squirm" on his seat a few years later when we met up to discuss something to do with the children and I reminded him of his appalling behaviour ...

Things do settle with time ...

i agree at a time like that people tend to act out of character for various reasons, when the initial pain, hurt and anger has ceased many end up friends but it takes time. Some splits are amicable but think they are in the minority

With my ex husband, it was terrible, he left me and I completely fell apart, not down to him, I just could not cope with what had happened.

It took me a good eight months to pull myself together, a long story and one not for the public.

With my recent ex, we have been apart for a year, but he is still angry, as I posted last night.

It drags you down, I see a raging bull, am tense when I know he is back in town, but today as he is arriving back and we have talked calmly on the telephone, we are meeting tomorrow as we are still business partners.

But personally he is the one left behind, and he has the memories, and he is still upset and very hurt.

He needs to get that out and he will, with time.

I do know him, I know him well, I know what makes him tick, I know what the triggers are and I know that I push his buttons, because I do, not on purpose, but if I mention something, he refuses to talk and becomes angry.

So I refuse to talk and then I get the 'you close up' I cannot fight against it, so I am not going to.

Do not fight against it, shut it down. I am not sure what he is doing, but you have to consider you. However he is communicating with you.

gingerb: I agree with this. I am an extremely tolerant person in relationships but it id often mistaken for being a pushover or asking to be walked on. It's a fine line commanding respect from a partner who is used to getting away with treating you with disrespect.

Love the new pics Flower. You are looking fantastic.


Thank you Ginger!! hug
