I couldnโ€™t make it through this one - got to about minute 8 - felt too awkward about it - and I feel like Iโ€™m invading your privacy - Iol -

Unbelievable story telling as usual - you have a skill to make it seem real time - ๐Ÿ˜„

โ€œNo wonder Iโ€™ve been single my entire lifeโ€ yeah, your empathy is clearly the issue. ๐Ÿค” perhaps itโ€™s time to be an insensitive arse!

Itโ€™s the 000โ€™s of ยฃโ€™s they steal off me which is more of an issue -

Iโ€™m assuming thats a new thing - like within the last 10 years?

Probably dated 20 women (maybe more) up to age 33 - never had a penny stolen - took 8 years off - came back after recoveryโ€ฆ

Dated 3 women in 6 years and they all rinsed me for thousands - lol

Oh Eva. I felt your heart breaking in this one. ๐Ÿ’”Marriage is complex and I can completely understand how much you felt pulled in so many different directions, each concession breaking off another piece of what once felt like a solid foundation. Another excellent read, there were so many great quotes I wanted to highlight but I felt like this one really captured everything so beautifully. โ€œIt was more like a gas, colourless, odourless, leaking in so slowly that neither of us ever thought to check the air. It didnโ€™t announce itself. It simply changed how everything looked from inside it.โ€

wow. that really surprised me. but it seems like it wasn't enough regret to end his pursuit. you wrote this so well, it has to be so difficult to capture what you felt. so glad you did finally escape this nightmare!

๐Ÿ’• .. no it certainly was just the beginning! Thanks for your beautiful comment x

Wow as always absolutely brilliant, your husband seemed to almost feel a little more human in this one. The version you protrayed of him almost regretting his decision made me feel quite sad for him but only for a split second lol. It was almost as if he had gone too far, he could see what he had done and he realised to late.

A great read again, and as always ill be back next week for the next chapter ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒธ thank you for continuing to share something so raw and vulnerable with us ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฉท
