New thread- Told DP I was upset by SKs' behaviours

I thought I'd make a new thread to let you know that I have stayed strong, am enjoying my peace (and cat).
I have to go to work very soon so I will post later this evening, but thank you all so much for your messages and support!

He has messaged to meet up but I have said no. His things are packed up and we have financial issues to sort like joint account and investments so blocking outright isn't doable yet. I am not worried for my safety.

Some lovely colleagues at work have been helpful- especially one who has been in a very similar situation in the past, who said it doesn't get better, only worse.

He's messaged the typical misses me, can't believe how things are text now, but no apology. When I told him the way I have been disrespected and then the way he spoke to me and left was shockingly undeserved, he ignored that and just kept asking me to meet him. I said no.

Pleased for you that you have found strength and are not capitulating to his requests. He clearly is not going to acknowledge your concerns. He thinks he can just carry on as before. He is probably just a tad sad that he has suddenly lost his cushy lifestyle, he’ll get over it and you will move on. You and the cat are so much better off without the disrespectful SKs. You were totally in the right with what you said and your actions.
Chin up and keep moving forward. There is very little worth looking at in the rear view mirror of life, once you have left the situation behind you.
(I know it’s your home and you haven’t left it. I meant the relationship situation).

Good for you! Be proud that you have the self respect to say no.

He’s not apologizing because he’s not sorry about that. He is sorry he’s pushed the boat out on his fabulous lifestyle though…

Yep- the lack of apology still has blown my mind.
Have a lovely day all x

@innersilentscreams sounds like you are getting sorted. Nice to hear that you & the cat are enjoying the peace. No apology so he still won't acknowledge he was in the wrong? Wow. True colours are fully shown now.
Thank you for updating. Glad you are ok.

Another early bird here, just wanted to say I am so proud of you. Have a great day🌞

Go you! Stay strong! The fact has hasn’t apologised speaks volumes

Glad you stayed strong OP. His lack of any attempt to even acknowledge your point of view tells you all you really need to know.
