Progress... korbie: So today I got a e-mail from my STBX and it is to date the most civil e-mail I've received since this whole thing started. He finally acknowledged that things can never be the way they were--something he's had real issues with. It was so nice to hear from him without the venom or trying to get me back. The tone was of the man I met all those years ago and I miss him but I'm glad that it happened now when I'm in a much stronger place than I was months ago. I think had I gotten this e-mail a few months ago I would have been putty in his hands. It was so great to hear that he respects me, I really think that we both lost that for eachother. We stopped seeing each other as whole people and began to view the other as a means to our individual happiness. We stopped talking and really listening and we never got that right. I know that I love him still and will probably always love him. He even wants to be friends which we both know will take a hell of a lot of work. In theory it sounds like the best option but I don't know if it's just lip service...either way it's not something that I'll be looking forward to anytime soon but maybe someday.
I feel like I'm finally getting a slice of the peace that I've wanted with what has happened with us...let's see how long this lasts. :)
Re: Progress... Gabo: sounds nice
Re: Progress... BONILLAK: Good for you. I'm glad your stronger and have a good head on your shoulders. I wish I could say I would someday consider being friends with my ex but fat chance. You hurt a mama's kids, no chance for friendship. I can be civil in front of the kids but if they aren't around watch out.LOL I'm glad you got a nice email. Maybe one day my ex will have nice words for me or at least say I'm sorry I hurt you and the kids, your a great mom and I respect you. I want to hear that from him but I don't think I could utter those words to him....EVER. And no I'm not bitter, I'm honest.
