All the normal reasons plus...

I'd like to live alone and be your mistress.

You have Aspergers Syndrome.

You have no empathy (W is still clueless as to why people shun her).

I have to beg for sex. (Now that I would remember!)

My ex h reasons.
 
I just don't love you like that.
You are to unorganized.
You are messy
You want everything perfect that I can't sit on my Couch.( Wait I thought I was messy )
I'm not domesticated any more. (Seroiusly !)
I have been a father and a husband my whole life now I want something different
You can't make me be a husband or a father. This is your home not mine. My heart is not in this house or with you. (Unforgivable)

The only thing I didn't get was ILYBIMILWY.  After all was said and done he told me he loved me...even after BD #2. How am I supposed to take that?

Wow. That is strange. Maybe he was able to be honest. Mine was not.

My husband told me he loved me for months after BD.

When he was leaving to move 14 hours away to be with OW I got a hug, kiss and I love you with tears and then jumped in a u haul and took off. 

He has continued to say I love you but I feel no passion for you.

Oh how I wish I could get just one ‘I love you’. At BD i got “I’ll always love you but can never see us being happy”. Since then he’s consistently maintained that he does not love me & I don’t love him. I had one look just before he moved out which will haunt me forever. It was a very pained look as if he really doesn’t want to hurt me but has no choice. Or maybe I misinterpreted it and it was really a look as if to say you’ve hurt me soo much- who knows. I’ve revently heard from the kids that he has been saying mean things about me to my sister in law (SIL that I never got on with) so double betrayal. So he’s really on a mission to convince everyone that he was right to leave me and he’s sooo happy with OW.

I do believe H is in MLC- all the signs are there. But the odd doubt creeps in. For months now I have seen no confusion. Just been purely consistent that I am the enemy & ow has saved him from his misery. He is in pure protection mode with her- not sure how a 50 year old woman who’s clearly been around the block needs protection  :o. His loyalty is completely misplaced & he truly believes I’m out to get him, take his kids away, play nasty games etc. I know I have a monster on my hands & I stay away as much as possible. That’s why I can’t add to the list of justifications- I don’t want to hear them. I’m sure if I communicated with monster I would hear some classics- just not strong enough!

I got that look too! I was on my way out the door the day he was moving out.. I decided to go out as I didn't want to see him leave.. I said goodbye and when I turned around to close the door, there it was.. he looked sad, really really sad.. I don't think I misinterpreted it because it broke my heart so much that I turned around to give him a hug. He responded and kissed me on the cheek.. then I just left because I broke down in tears.. I will NEVER forget that look  :'(

I got the same look. He had a high as he was taking stuff out of the house without telling any of us he was moving but then didn’t want to go that night even after I told him to go.  Had to stay the night 1 more time. Probably never ours have left but he had to pick her up from the mental hospital the next night. Never heard anything about love again from him. He has convinced our friends that our 20 year relationship was a huge mistake and that we never should have gotten married. That hurt a lot to hear this last weekend.

Good discussion,
Well on bd W stated she lost herself being a wife,mom.
W never loved me it was lust and is still very attracted to me. Huh
Trying to find herself she doesn't know what she sees in the mirror.

The list can go on. W said everything to me and kids But the most hurtful one. She never wanted to adopt our last 2 kids I made her love them when she didn't want to they ruined her life W stated.  :(  and worse part they heard W say all these horrible things.
