Hello again all,
After a month of putting my heart and soul into my new relationship I got the following text on Tuesday,
"Do you mind giving me a few days of space? I've got a lot to sort out in my life as well as my head + would appreciate it if you could respect that. x"
What else could I do? I agreed that I would call her on Friday if I had not heard from her by then, I knew that this could go one of two ways, she was going through a SHITTY divorce, from an abusive husband that controlled and refused to support her and her (and his) kids, had stopped paying the mortgage without telling her, she was unemployed, just taken a really shitty job that paid £90 a week to keep a roof over her and her kids heads and she was having a problem with comitment. She was either deciding to tell me to hit the road, or (less likely I admit) was taking time on deciding to comit to me the way I had to her. Anyway, I have received another text this lunchtime and this is what it says...
"Hi. Sorry, but husband has been round and I've decided 2 give it 1 more go for the kids. Can you pick your stuff up tonight. Thanks"
I have no choice but to respect her choice, her kids are the most important thing to her and I don't think that I it would be right to try to convince her (not that I could I guess) that staying away from him is the best thing that she could do for the kids and for herself. I've had a week of feeling really shit, in fact I have likened the feeling I have had this week to the feeling I got after my own wife told me to fuck off, out of the blue, nearly 2 years ago.
I guess I'll be making more appearances here at SH in the not too distant future then...
Chris
