Last night I saw four messages on the iPad between DP of 10 years and a colleague of his. I thought they were inappropriate and challenged him about it. He said it was just a laugh. This morning I can accept this and forget it. But last night he just didn't respond as I would have hoped. In fact, he just took the opportunity to cast up an issue from a few years ago which has never really gone away.
At that time, I stupidly told him that I had had an affair with a colleague (years before I met DP). The colleague and I were both married at the time.
Anyway, the impact of this was huge. Weeks and months of verbal abuse and grovelling by me.
Last night he reminded me that his feelings towards me have changed since that time, that he has told me this repeatedly so why I am I surprised.
He says I am not the person I was - which is true. I have changed to try to deal with how he treats me. I am always on my best behaviour so to speak. I try not to rock the boat, to keep everything on a even keel. Why oh why did I mention those messages last night?
Meanwhile I am unhappy. I feel unloved, unappreciated and resentful that I don't deserve this over something that happened years ago and was nothing to do with us.
Is he being UR or is it me?
