My ex is playing that game for nine years now.
You dumped him. Not fair.
LOL, Technically, he did dump me.
Then it's even more unfair. Do you think there's a good chance he will actually do it, or is he mostly trying to get your attention?
It's a long story, too long for a quick bitch. He was right to pull the plug, I had been taking care of him for too long. And when I broke down three years ago, within a week he said he'd go, not able to cope with me not functioning, and saying I should never have to take care of him again the way I had done.
So, he wanted to leave, but could not do it, untill a few months ago.
He is seriously having problems. He may do it one day. I don't know. It is more than just seeing attention. He wants no help though, nor medication.
Maybe I'll make a thread of it one day. Not now. I need to remind myself to turn off the phone at 9 in the evening, only to turn it on again when I need it during the day.
