I can very much relate to being like that.
Over time though, I learned to swim and to not trust others to check that there are life vests and boats and I learned to be very clear and open about my thoughts on the ice berg dead ahead.
I am terrible to talk to about things like this because while I can understand where you are coming from, I can’t really in good concience tell you anything else than that I think it is time to tell him that you will be in the life boat and that he alone is in charge of either staying the course or turning around.
Doesn’t have to mean ending it, but let him know that he knows where you and the presents you spent money and effort on are and that it is up to him where you go from here.
I feel torn about answering, because I know I’ve said more or less the same before and that it might not be what you want to hear, but I also don’t want you to feel that you have to put up with this or think that I’m not sorry or get that it sucks.
And I’m a bit stubborn and loyal and don’t always know when to stop…so do tell me if you would rather want me to stay off the topic. I totally get if that’s the case and I will not get upset.
No, no, no, Iris. I appreciate your input, and I know you're right. I just have a hard time doing anything about it because I default to making excuses for his stupid ass. But he's been wallowing long enough, in my opinion. This has been going on for years.
I think I'll write up a thing to send him, then sit on it for a day or two and look over it again to make sure I like the way it sounds, then send it. He has been content to sit back and let me shoulder the burden of this not-relationship for so long, and I am so, so, so tired.
