[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband did. Took 2 yrs. to get to the  truth which was that he was gay.[/quote] That at least seems forgivable on most levels. Mine bolted from a decades long marriage. The marriage did indeed need to end. It's unfortunate for him that he didn't see the need to try to wrap it up in a civilized way even as I was saying "I agree with you." He took all his toys and ran away. I don't bother trying to get inside his head to get to the bottom of why he left the way he did.

I focused on my own side of the street. Even though I'm the one who was dumped, I'm in a better place emotionally. He's chasing happiness but he's certainly not at peace. It's a bummer for our kids. Spoiler: permanent state of "happiness" is unrealistic. A more permanent state of peace is possible with a lot of honest work.[/quote]

Why do the work when you can just ghost on your responsibilities and blame your ex? [/quote]I know. His behavior was and is terrible. I wish the best for him even though I have been cast as the crazy ex. I took the divorce as an opportunity to work on myself and the issues I brought to that relationship, or at least the ones I am aware of since he wanted no part of post-marriage therapy. Everyone deserves to live a peaceful life. I fought for mine, if that makes sense. He wanted me to drown. I seem to have ended up with the better deal and I'm grateful now for the kick in the pants that brought me to this place.[/quote]

You sound in denial talking bad about him while pretending to wish him joy and your dismissiveness of someone else's pain having a gay husband and being lied to likely from the beginning is disturbing. [/quote]

Two (or more) contradictory emotions can exist at the same time.[/quote]
