Haven't ended it yet. He's been at work all evening, and I feel good. I couldn't sleep last night because his little sleeping noises angered me to the point where I thought I was going to go crazy. He says I don't respect him because I don't let him sleep at night by asking him questions about his marriage and that woman. It's just that I see these patterns of behavior that he has with me, and I want to know if he was like this or that with her. I told him that I believe he has buried feelings for her. He became furious with me, and I was told that I have a tiny brain.........etc. Then he comes to me later, and apologizes, and asks why I'm still mad at him! I suppose asking him questions when he wants to go to sleep is not the wisest thing to do.......but I guess it's the only time where he's not enthralled with his video game. Other times, I want to discuss that topic, and I'm cut off with, "Oh, come on, please don't start." Last week, we had a few good days. I am so attached to him because I feel comfortable with him (which is so important to me because I find it tough to meet new people because of my shyness) He can make me laugh so hard sometimes that I can't breathe. I just can't handle all his baggage though, and he does not take steps to reassure me that I'm valuable to him. I continue to feel as if I'm just a convenience girlfriend. He denies that he still loves his wife, and he insists that he wants to be with me. I have become even more insecure, and find is very difficult to move forward in this relationship for some pretty obvious reasons. I cry often because I feel so stuck. I played Florence Nightingale in the beginning, and stupidly expect him to now show me some support. I have told him numerous times to move out, and that I don't want to be with him anymore. He's the one who just won't leave. I know I could let him go even though it would be difficult at first. When I'm alone, I feel good. It's like his energy is repressive, and I resent him for so much. I know how unhealthy this relationship is, and I also know it's a definite gauge on the work I still need to do in order to have a loving healthy relationship. I just don't know how to get him to go! I don't know how to get him to take me seriously. He doesn't respect women in general, and tries to act pretty macho as if he is superior to me. I know this act proves his weaknesses, but I have no strategy on how to remove him from my life.
