Rock,

I was going to go through all your threads from scratch and quote every time someone (including me, many times) told you not to engage, but tbh I’m just too lazy.

It must be 20 or 30 times. But you continue to make excuses and interact with her… time and time again. You’ll harden up for a day or two, get into your GAL and independence, and then you’ll crack and be back here with another tale of woe and “should I buy her a Christmas gift?”

What part of this are you not understanding? You CAN NOT NICE OR IMPRESS OR VALIDATE THIS PERSON BACK WITH WORDS OR TEXTS.

I am not the bad guy, just the one that was brave enough to imagine a healthier life for both of us.

She’s a grade A whack job. This is her wanting validation that leaving you was the right thing because she wants to feel better about what she has done. Knowing you you’ll probably try and validate this statement and she will get what she wants.

I would respond like this:

You think you’ve been “brave”? Hahaha, okay 🤪🤪🤪
