This.
He didn't want to explain himself and has likely chosen to see where it will go.
If it doesn't go to plan, he will most likely turn up with some story of being confused and having a wobble.
Do not entertain him for a minute.
He is a user.
Some men can be brutal.
My friends lovely colleague in school was married 30 years when her teacher husband came home one night and bluntly told her it was over, he no longer loved her, wanted a divorce, house to be sold, no discussion at all.
He was just done.
Absolutely brutal.
They were both retiring in the following 12 months.
She was stunned.
He'd always been selfish and she had raised their children largely alone.
He had lots of hobbies like golf.🙄
They sold their lovely house and garden which was her pride and joy and she found it all very hard.
He of course had met someone 10 years younger and they had a couple of great years holidaying etc.
He never felt the least bit contrite for what he had done and the upset he caused.
She bought a little house and has created a lovely life and garden for herself, but it was hard.
4 years on from their divorce he had a stroke that fortunately was caught early but required some months of rehabilitation.
His relationship hasn't survived this huge change of his circumstances.
Her son started trying to discuss "what to do with Dad" and what would be best for him, and suggested that Mum brings him home 🙄as he needed to be looked after🤨, when he finished rehabilitation.
Her very steely position to her son was that they were divorced 4 years ago, she had barely seen him since, his health difficulties while obviously a huge shock for HIM, had nothing whatsoever to do with HER, and she wanted no part in any discussion as it really was NOTHING to do with her.
Her daughters tried to be more understanding but were also a bit surprised that lovely, kind mum, who has always put everyone first was not prepared to "help out" with Dad.
She had to be very firm with them all.
She accepted HIS sudden decision to end their marriage and the sale of her lovely home and garden, she NEVER burdened THEM with her sadness and shock, protected THEM from it all.
She had absolutely no intention of being guilted by them 4 years after her divorce to become his carer having been discarded the way she was.
They accepted her position and she has stuck to her position ridgedly.
It caused a lot of discussion among her friends as to the unbelievable expectations of some women to suck up awful treatment and still be "kind"🙄.
He has shown you who he is at his core, brutal.
Be glad you know.
