Letters To A Cheating Spouse
Chapter 3, Part 2: Separation
I do not understand how you can destroy me emotionally and then be allowed to take everything else I have done and created for you. At this point, I am willing to agree to the money aspect which, if you are honest to yourself, is important to you. If it wasn’t, and if I am so terrible as you claim I am, you would have left a long time ago. It is the money, we both know it. Take whatever you want.
Look at it from this perspective: In the end, you get everything you want. You get enough money to begin your new life. You have plenty of friends and a family to support you. And, just perhaps, we will be able again to do our best to take care of our children and hopefully will be able to communicate in a normal way with each other. I also told you that I will not skip out of paying guideline child support. You have started building a new relationship. Separating means you can do that with all the freedom you want and need. You can let go from me. I will let go from you. These are all positive things.
On my side, you know that, as strange and mean as it may sound to you, but I truly want to avoid you as much as I can, I do not want to see you beyond a point I have to see you. You know I have moved past you and I believe it is important that we do not interfere with each other’s lives more than we absolutely have to. We are part of each other’s lives only as far as the children are concerned. Beyond that, we can ignore each other. I am not part of your life any more. You are not part of my life any more.
There was a time when you talked about being friends. I have no idea how the future will play out and I am at a point where the hate is gone and I simply do not care anymore. I would have no trouble talking to you normally. Our relationship feels more like a business contract with some obligations here and there, but nothing more. Too much has happened. I would have no interest in being a friend to you. I am pretty sure you have no desire having me as a friend as well. And if you look at it, and if you are honest to yourself, I never was worth to you as much as any of your friends and co-workers.
I could never be your friend. It would be a word to pretend something that does not exist.
I think I will write about that a bit more later, that you never defended me like friends would defend each other. It is somewhat astonishing that you never defended me against any claims and I always had to defend myself against your friends and even against you. I never noticed that until recently. I always wanted to be your best friend and I never was. You would not be able to do what I would expect from a friend. But that is ok. In turn, I could never do for you what friends would do for friends as well.
