Sounds more like a fishing expedition than a real apology. My ex couldn't believe that I didn't have a guy lined up when I left him. He's still fixated on the idea that I'm shacking up with someone or out running around. He's paying a lawyer thousands of dollars to read my journal right now, under the guise of a custody case.
Because it's not possible that I left him because he a drunken ah*le and that being on my own is better than being with him. There must be another guy. Yeah, that's it.
