STBX is sometimes emotionally abusive, silent treatment and aggressive outbursts but not generally insults. He's aware that I'm nearing the end of my patience but I haven't explicitly told him I plan to leave.
Perhaps lovebombing isn't quite accurate, but he's busy trying to be partner and dad of the year. Everything is for my benefit, random bouts of cleaning, he's apparently also been to the GP. I really don't have the energy for this. I'm beginning to feel sorry for him, despite also finding his matyr act irritating. It's proving hard enough to navigate my grief and the practicalities of finding somewhere to live. I'm so tired and it feels so hard, I'd started looking forward to a new life and now I feel full of doubt and like it is slipping away.
