Hi I've not been in touch for ages.Trying to start again and come to terms with the new terminology that the situtation is bringing -ex husband / wife / divorce.
My soon to be ex and I are still at the snarling stage and to be honest I really can't stand the man. However I am attempting a new attitude of civility. It's our daughter's class assembly next week and I've invited him to walk to school with us and I'll probably even sit by him.Daughter will be pleased (she's 6). We even went 10 pin bowling at my instigation last weekend. I am not sure that this is the right thing to do but I am exhausted by all the fighting and by acting civilly I am hoping that in time I will feel civil. At the moment it's just an act!
My major problem is that I have no idea what went wrong with our marriage.He has given me no explanation apart from the fact that he felt happier without me when I went on a business trip for a week prior to Christmas.He doesn't appear to have a girlfriend ( although he did send me a loving text by mistake early on when he left). He's living alone and clearly missing our daughter. I feel that I must have been really awful to live with if this alternative is better and I can't believe that I was so oblivious to the fact that he was so unhappy.He is being really uncooperative about our divorce. Not talking to his solicitor etc. I used to have false hope that this meant he was having second thoughts but in our new found association it would appear that he is just broke and can't afford to use his solicitor much.
I know that there are no answers. I am just looking to air my thoughts.
