and i'm the bitch???

he said that to me. that since he's left i've been nothing but a bitch, and he had no idea i could be this mean.

DUH

Oh that's right... I forgot. Life is all about HIM. silly me. what was i thinking?

" I feel your pain. Mine wants his space so he can clear his head. I want to give that to him, but the human side of me wants to let him know he's being selfish. I'm beginning to agree with many of the posts I've read here about the NO CONTACT thing. It makes it easier to not be so mean or reactive to the situation. "

" Mine is the same; I think sometimes he thinks we're all just supposed to hold hands, sit in a circle, and sing "Kumbyah." You're right--it's all about them. "

" I'm in the same boat - he doesn't get why he can't still give me hugs and why we can't hang out with the kids - uh, maybe because you're screwing a 26 yr old??? "

" If we didn't have a teenaged son, it would have been easier to have no contact during the initial separation......went through 3-4 months of arguing EVERY time we spoke. I really TRY not to contact him though.....tired of being hurt. "

" no i've come to terms with the fact that the relationship is dead. what i can't come to terms with is the fact that he'd rather be spending time fixing up his new love shack instead of seeing the kids. and when i get angry about it, he says i'm just being a bitch.
he wants me to give him time to get his life in order before he sees them on a regular basis. (translates to he wants free party time without responsibility)
i just get angry cuz i see my kids hurting. (translates to me being a vile bitch) "
