Remember tho, there are repeated cycles. I just was looking back at my diary from 2 years ago...was ready to leave, had a place, etc. then he wanted to talk, 'don't want you to leave'(melted my heart, cuz of course I wanted to stay and make it work!), for a few weeks it was "perfect" (all the good things)THEN, right back to the usual "stuff", no calls, drunk, silent, mean comments, etc. Over my 14 years with him this happened ALOT! Silly me for each time, trusting, wanting to believe and staying....only to go thru it yet another time!
Not this time, but it took alot of repeats to get there. Not that this will happen to each person, but I'll bet the odds are it will. Sorry.
