Now she is feeling sorry for him. Aside from dating or living with his ex wife, my cousin thinks he is all alone feeling because of the holidays. He has never been holidayish with her for 12 years.
I cannot believe it but I guess that may be the progression of this type of relationship
I really wanted to tell her, “then why dont you go back to him” and I did say all but, she said she did not mean that-still she feels sorry for him
She does now want to pin down a date to get her things
Well, at least you know what she saw in him.
I dunno, if he was abusive to her, her concerns for her safety seem pretty legit to me. Statistically women are at the highest risk for becoming homicide victims when they leave their abusive partners. Sad but true.
Her concern for him also rings true. He may be messed up but it sounds like that’s her only real concept of love at this point. If abusers were 100% always terrible horrible monsters with no redeeming qualities, it would be a lot easier to leave them.
It’s auto-correction madness. I just got a new Android phone and it constantly wants to type 28th or 94th or some [del]42nd m[/del] random number of I don’t keep my eye on it.
See? It just did it there.
Oh GOD, I wonder, as this situation progresses, if this is status quo.
Huh?
