...but hell, that's my name, isn't it?
Okay. A little history first. I was married to this great guy who was a great dad, and we got along very well together. We had a total of four major fights during our relationship; two before marriage, two after. Looking back at the nature of the two fights before marriage, I should've known not to marry him, but oh well, hindsight is always 20/20. The first major fight we had after marriage happened when our daughter was a little over one year old. He was upset that I didn't have a job and be a working mother. I guess he thought I wasn't contributing enough to the household? I countered that before we got married, we agreed that if we had kids I would be a stay-at-home mom since we believed that children need that kind of stability in their lives. Well, he didn't believe that anymore. So, I "thought" we compromised when we agreed that I would get a job when our daughter started elementary school. That blew over and I thought we were ok, but shortly after our daughter's second birthday, he started acting weird and wouldn't talk to me. A couple days of being clueless as to what was wrong with him was enough for me, and I confronted him. He then gave me the same, "you don't do anything, u should be working" stuff he gave me earlier. Because taking care of a child and an apt is doing nothing? Anyways, he said he didn't love me anymore , left, and we were divorced about a year later. (also, I have a bad memory and am easily distracted so I forget shit all the time and he was sick of it)
Now...for this issue I'm dealing with.
I've been sexting with this married guy who's cheated on his wife before. I even met him at his work one time to give him a bj. So, anyway, in my mind he's an asshole for even cheating on her, and I was starting to get really tired of hearing how much of a bitch she always is, so I asked him a couple days ago why he doesn't just divorce her so they could both move on. His reply was because they still love eachother and can be happy, they just no longer have sex. Ok...
Then the next day, he starts in on how much his wife sucks. Then I counter that she sucks but not enough that they aren't happy together? I told him he confused me. His answer was that he stays because of the kids, and doesn't want to miss being with them every day.
So, at this point, I can just feel the "please have pity on me" aura that surrounds every word in his texts. I'm thinking to myself that this guy is just like my ex. So I ask him if he's bought this book on marriage that I suggested to him over a month ago that I thought would really help his relationship. He had told me that her major complaint is that he doesn't make her feel like he cares about her. Of course, that would be hard to do when you're boffing your neighbor! The book is on the five love languages and if he could pinpoint his wife's, he could make her feel loved and appreciated, and in turn, she might become more affectionate. But, of course, he hasn't bought the book.
I also suggested talking to his wife, spelling out to her just what's in his head and that their marriage needs to be fixed. Because see, my ex never did that. While he was cheating on me, he let me believe that we had a great marriage and that everything was perfect. I didn't even know all the shit that bugged him until he exploded at me the night he left me. He didn't even give me a chance, ya know?
Now, I know it's weird to be giving marriage advice to a guy who I blew in my car just last week, but really, now, I'm just really pissed off at him because he won't leave his wife OR try to make things better between them, he just wants to live in pity-party land.
I know I'm directing a lot of the anger I feel for my ex at him, but to me he deserves it. I want to tell him exactly what I think of him in a facebook message, and then send a message to his wife that he's been cheating on her with their neighbor (who also happens to be married), but I'm not a vindictive type of person. It's fun to fantasize about (I still think of the letters I could write to my ex's gf so she would know just how much of a liar he is, but after almost two years, I still haven't), but I don't think I could go thru with it.
The appeal to sext him has completely gone. I just don't know what I should do.
