I saw my husband after work yesterday. He came by to drop off the earrings. More begging and pleading and more tears from him.
He tells me other women are interested in dating him and that his friends want to set him up. He says he told me this because he tells his friends that I am on his mind and that he cannot date anyone, but I think he told me this to try to make me jealous.
He also told me his friends think he should turn his back on me for X,Y, and Z reasons, or for what I've done to him. I can only imagine what he's told them. Love how he's the victim now.
Then he tells me I should not have taken any money from him. And I WISH I had thought of a good comeback. I can never think of what to say in the moment. I SHOULD have said, well, what's truly wrong is that I bought a 2K chair for you that you don't even now use!! I could use that money, it was my savings, and now I don't have it. I should have said THAT to him. And the money he gave me is hardly anything, and is not the 1K I asked for when I asked him to split the cost of the chair with me.
Yeah, so it was wrong of me to take money from him when I'm divorcing him, and it's also wrong that I now have a pair of earrings he bought me as well. Ok, well, it was wrong that I paid $8,000 for our entire wedding and honeymoon, with NO help from him, and it's wrong that he doesn't even use the expensive chair I bought for his back.
I hate how he makes me feel, and I hate how he's playing victim. He keeps telling me he doesn't care what his friends and family think, and that he has his own mind and will make his own decisions.
Hypothetically, IF I did get back together with him, his entire group of friends would be against me and so would his family. He has set it up that way.
