my ex told me a few months ago that he loves me, it was so random as we’ve been split up years and we don’t have a good relationship at all as he has very little contact with the children. It’s just annoyed me though as how can you claim to love someone but let them raise the kids alone knowing I have no family or support with them at all? and he doesn’t contribute financially either but apparently loves me. How can you “love someone” but treat them so bad? Our oldest child is disabled so does he ever think how tough my life must be. Im not sure what he thought he would achieve by telling me as all it’s done is make things super awkward now. I put his treatment of the kids down to him hating me so now he apparently “loves me” I can’t work out why he treats the kids the way he does then, not that I’m saying it was ok before just that it’s the only way I could make sense of it. He doesn't need a place to stay or anything like that as that's what people have suggested to me is his motive but it isn't so why else would he say this to me?
