Hahaha, nah, so true.
My MLCer didn't give me any reasons, tended to tell everyone else.
What he told me
*I love you but it would work better if we weren't together (when he first wanted to move out)
*You're the only fat girl I've ever stayed with (wtf?! I was a UK size 12 when he said this, US size 10 and i suffer from PCOS)
*You're a b!Tch. Everyone thinks you are. Even SS24 (of course he thinks i am, I'm the one who sets him boundaries)
*It's not you, it's me
*my head's a mess, i feel like i did when we first met (he was an angry person)
*I don't want you around when i lose it (i didn't press this)
*I'm lost
What he told others
*She kicked me out on Christmas Eve which is evil
*I was planning on leaving for weeks
*I was planning on leaving for months
*I was planning on leaving for years
*We were separated months
*We were separated years and she knows it
*The house was a mess
*She wouldnt let the dog on the sofa
*She wouldn't let the dog in the bed
*She controlled everything
*She controlled the kids too much
*She let the kids get away with everything
*We only stayed together for you and your brother (said to D9)
I'm sure that there's more but this is what I've heard.
I'm glad I read this thread. His mum was in a series of abusive relationships and he always felt bad for not being able to defend her. She did always put her boyfriends above her sons (according to MLCer). Since BD, he did get close to her then stopped being as close and is calling her out on a lot of things.
His dad abandoned him time and again throughout his childhood and young adulthood. He rekindled a relationship with him when he was 36/37 from the age of 19. He felt abandoned by his dad again just before BD and i think this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's good to have some kind of understanding about what replay is about. ow was in an abusive relationship with her ex, she isn't a very good mum-she leaves her kids with her mum the majority of the time to spend time with him and she is manipulative (said by MLCer himself)-all traits held by his mum.
