Thanks everyone for such wonderful support.
He text me yesterday morning saying he wanted to talk so I knew something was up.
What followed was a self indulgent half hour where he told me how much he had learned in therapy, how his past relationships had messed him up and how he needed to "find his authentic self". It was like listening to a stranger.
I said pretty much nothing during this. What was to be said? It all felt very rehearsed.
Then he dropped the trial separation bomb. Said he needed to see his he could miss me, but yet wanted to spend the evening together and go in the morning. It was like he wanted my blessing and expected me to encourage him on whatever bullshit journey he's invented. I said he had to go there and then. And he did.
My friend came and looked after me and has gone now and I feel so... Bleugh. I don't know what's happened to the lovely man I married.
