Glad to hear that you were strong. All those texts were just attempts to control. Trying to get a rise out of you. Even if you are angry, having you yell at him would be better than nothing, in his eyes.
He definitely doesn't get it. Threatening to go get more booze if you won't talk to him says that in plain english. He's only "doing" whatever he is "doing" to make you happy, to shut you up. At least that is what it looks like to me, as someone who has seen the same thing for herself. They only want to look like they are trying, hoping that will be enough to keep us satisfied. Eventually they go back to doing whatever.
I need posts like this, to soothe me when I have bad days, wondering if I made the right decision when I left my ex. Thanks for the reminder.
