I need to vent

So last year I was living in California. Working at a wonderful job that I loved. I had amazing friends and a happy family. Or so I thought. I woke up one morning, got the kids ready for school, went to work, and all was well with the world. That day my life changed forever. My husband asked me for a divorce out of the blue and watched me sob uncontrollably and showed me zero emotion. The kids and I moved back to North Carolina (where my whole family lives) right after this all happened. The day we got back he calls me telling me he made a mistake. He wants his family back. He can’t live without us. Ya know, the typical bullshit. I was falling back into his trap and before I knew it I was trying to figure out how to tell my mom I was moving back. She was not going to be happy with me. But I had an advantage in this situation this time, (this was the 3rd time he asked me for a divorce and had us leave) I was 3000 miles away and couldn’t just run back. I decided it was time to handle my shit with him. I told him moving back was never an option, working on things would take time and he had to prove himself. I gave him so many chances. I eventually decided enough was enough and he was not something u wanted in my life anymore and told him I was 100% done. Well, fast forward to this past week. He calls me to tell me something random that I didn’t really care to hear and then starts pestering me to talk about the guy I’ve been seeing. HE HAD THE NERVE to tell me “umm don’t be slutty and sleep around with everyone.” Y’all, I’ve slept with one person since getting separated. One single person. This fool has slept with 3 different women AND tried to sleep with me when we were in court for our divorce last week! He was very happy being the one in control in our marriage. The one who could turn every thing he did back to me and somehow I was always at fault. I blame myself for not seeing it sooner but let me just say this…it feels DAMN good to see this man struggle with the lack of control over everything while I sit back and watch things unfold how I want. I might sound petty but I am so over his shit and needed to let it all out.

Girl, I know exactly how you feel. He’s just projecting, trying to make you feel bad because he sees you don’t need nor want him. I’m always low key happy when my ex is put in a rut. They deserve it.
