I feel you. I used to think I’d want to hear that kind of apology, but now I would dread it. I wouldn’t have him back on a silver platter, and I’m pretty sure, if any apology was forthcoming, it would be couched in the most narcissistic terms.
I do love the irony of her cheating on him. And although a part of me wishes my ex could experience the pain of being cheated on himself, I actually hope his current wife sticks with him. She wasn’t an affair partner (thank god) and I’m hoping she will care for my ex in his old age so my kids don’t have to.
I’m glad his note didn’t make you spiral. True detachment is a great thing!
