The Strangest Thing abandoned1: BS (betrayed spouse) here. I've noticed myself exhibiting the "strangest" behavior recently. Many of the things I wasn't doing:
- filling my finished cereal bowl with water when I was done.
- wiping the wet kitchen counter space after doing dishes.
- dusting.
...which in turn annoyed my WW/STBXW I've started doing.
Why am I doing them religiously now?
She's living with the OM, and has instituted an email and divorce business only, no contact policy.
Is it some strange kind of subconscious hope that she'll come back? - once word gets around (like that's possible) - LOL
I certainly understand on a conscious level she's not coming back.
It's just so stupid, and too little too late to start doing these things - but yet I do them automatically now.
Re: The Strangest Thing alonewith2: They are all good habits to have, and ones that will come in handy for the next relationship. You should thank her for teaching you that. ;)
Re: The Strangest Thing thejoker: I know what you are saying abandoned.. as soon as my STBX split I started doing all the crap she used to complain about... but not because I wanted her back.. it just wasn't going to "magically" happen anymore..
You gotta do it all yourself now.. how empowering is that!! awesome dude!
