My partner left me at the end of December, it was a shock, we had a lot of changes happening in January and were looking forward to a positive start to the year and finally breaking free from a live in job that he had had for the last six years.
After he broke off with me, he maintained there was no one else, he just felt that he wasn't in love with me anymore although he loved me and I was his best friend. A few days later it came to light that he had been having an emotional affair with one of his colleagues, secret meetings before work and after , hundreds of texts and phone calls every day even on Xmas day!!
He denies this is the reason he wanted out of the relationship but it seems all to common that men only leave when they have had their head turned to something "better".
I'm not sitting around for him to come back, I have a new house that has no reminders of him, I have moved jobs and I am back living in my home town - in some ways I am richer than I have ever been and I am beginning to see some of the me I was years ago.
My question is, do they ever come back?! Obviously it has been three months and I am not waiting for him, as far as I am concerned he has not only left me he has left the children too ( For those who say he has left you not the children, for a man who never once said he was unhappy with his life - yes he was with his job and we were actively trying to make that part of his life easier!) And a man who could do that on such a whim with no warning is not worthy of sharing every day with them! I am mostly just wondering if they ever come crawling back and we scorned women can say you made your bed now go lie in it ?!
