Just got the rest of my stuff from Regan’s. Had another talk/yell with him. Told him everything I had been thinking about. Felt good to tell him my honest feelings. I told him he led me on because while he was considering exiting the relationship, we were sitting there looking at houses in Thailand!! He said, “that can all still happen!” I said, “Not likely.” I’ll believe it if I ever see it!! He said, “we were basically living like friends.” I said, “ I don’t sleep in the same bed as my friends.” He said, “things had been ‘off’for a while. I said, “no they weren’t. Things were fine.” He said, “we hadn’t had *** in over a year!” I said, “it wasn’t because I didn’t want to! I had health issues! I was going through the change of life!” So, basically, when I started having ****** issues due to menopause, that meant things were “off”. So, god forbid he stays with a person through all the ages and stages of life! Or maybe the next gal just won’t have what I had. It is rare. Lucky me, he didn’t want to go through my change of life. Just another rite of passage no one wants to go through with me. No marriage No children in a marriage No partner during menopause I don’t expect there to be anyone there when I die. **** this life.
