P made the decision in the end for us - but he had to, as i couldnt throw him out. But I think I did goad him into it.

Once he thought it was his decision, it seemed easier for it to be amicable in a strange way.

That wouldnt work for everyone. But I suppose I was lucky in that the relationship was just fizzling out, it didnt come crashing down like some.

i think he uses your relationship and the fact he could end it, as a way of keeping you in libe

he's probably a big ball of scared insecurites, which manifests itself in controlling and cold behaviour

he knows he has a good thing, is worried others covet you, and instead of being flattered, he thinks the way to keep you is by making you feel worthless

Fubsy · 21/06/2007 23:39

Maybe he thinks you need him, and you couldnt cope on your own?

i dont think he is evil dior, it's just him, i dont think he actively plans ways of making you feel small and shit, it's just all he knows

and he wont make the effort to do something about it

i wonder if he has tried tho so he can say he has and you havent responded

another way of saying look shes acting like ababy

Fubsy · 21/06/2007 23:46

Agree. P can be controlling, but its not in a power mad kind of way, more a my life is easier if everyones doing what I like sort of way.

Youve never made your h sound like a nasty man, he's probably as scared as you, but cant deal with it like you do.
