What I Won't Miss -- A Reminder Mango25: OK, Mango, now that you are slipping into romantic revisionist syndrome, a little reminder.
The sex wasn't all that good.
He never put any thought into the gifts he gave you and didn't even bother to wrap them. Remember the MORNING OF your anniversary when he went out to get you something AFTER seeing how good you were to him? Yeah, jerk.
You were allowed to: clean the house, garage and car; pick up, feed and help the kid with her homework; fulfill his needs; spend time with his family; spend time with his friends; plan his vacations and mulch his garden, but you were not allowed to -- spend time alone with your friends; go on trips by yourself; want anything for yourself or expect him to do anything different because you were a part of his life. It was sharing a life -- without the whole SHARING part. Did you really want to be a babysitter and maid for the rest of your life while he walked around acting like you should just be happy to live in his big house? . . . I don't think so. Being with him was not the big PRIVILEDGE he acted like it was.
He has a great kid, but, contrary to his behavior, her shit DOES stink. A kid shouldn't be allowed to sleep in her father's bed until she is NINE! Why did YOU have to be the one to point this out? Lying is LYING, and yes, kids lie. That doesn't mean you should ignore it. A kid should also not have a whole separate meal made for her every night because she is "picky" --- um, I think they call that spoiled beyond belief. Oh yea, and a kid puking up food she doesn't want to eat is NOT normal. BOY is he going to have fun when she is in high school.
You thought the best of him, trusted and loved him, but he looked you right in the face and lied to you for a month. A person that can do that is NOT GOOD and, if he did it then, he would do it again. You do not want to be with a LIAR.
Everything was about him, him, him, him. He's life is NOT stressful, but you had to live with constant stress about EVERYTHING. It was exhausting and never-ending.
If being with the other woman was so great, he would not complain about his health every time you talk to him, and he wouldn't always tell you how their relationship is "not serious." She is going to get hurt in the end and he is ALWAYS going to be unhappy. He told everyone that your time together was the happiest OF HIS LIFE and even he couldn't stick with that. He is never going to be happy at all. Be glad you got out early.
REMEMBER THIS --- HE IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU -- YOU FOOL!
