FDH changed his tune... FAST
So after all that happened, I was PISSED. So FDH, you think I'm the cause of all this? Fine!
I checked into how much money I would need to get by on my own and finish my BA. Turns out, I can do it all by myself if I take out student loans. This made me pretty excited, and I was hard as hell on my FDH when he got home after he left the house saying "screw you".
I told him I didn't love him anymore. I loved the man he used to be. I told him he was right, we weren't working anymore and that it probably would be best if we broke up. It's noone's fault, I said... We just don't work.
So.... the backpedalling starts. He says "I didn't break up with you, I was just angry." Excuses, excuses. He wants to change. He wants to be the man I want him to be. He has spent the last few days being uber nice to me and trying to make me feel special. The only problem is, I am not feeling it.
He is a contractor and has torn up two bathrooms in my house. They have been this way for over 2 years. He started working on fixing them two days ago. Now, I'm thinking to myself... Can I keep this up until my bathrooms are done? He can't give me any money, but I sure will take his labor.
Here is where the wrench gets thrown in a little bit... Last night he says he feels like all his efforts are for nothing and that him being sweet to me isn't working. I told him you can't just get over stuff like that and "feel" like a couple again right away. He got mad. I realized that I wasn't doing exactly what he wanted and that made him upset. Hmmmmm, control much?
Now he is back to saying we aren't working and I totally agree. We had a fight about groceries this morning; the only thing he is required to purchase for the house anymore.
Sigh... I loved the man I met, what happened to him?

Ugh, so he's "faking' being sweet and when you don't melt he goes back to being a dick? Seems like he made it pretty clear that he has no intentions of actually changing. He just wants to smoothe all of this over. He wants you to swoon so he can go back to being an asshole and you won't call him out on it.
Yep, I'm just worried I won't
Yep, I'm just worried I won't be able to "fake" it until my house is finished. I have 7K worth of travertine tile sitting in my garage!
I wish to god he really would change. In fact, he has made several attempts lately. He started working out, went on a diet, and is taking a class at the local community college. Unfortunately, with all this bad blood, I'm not sure our relationship will survive while he is transitioning.
It really is too bad. My son LOVES him. I love the guy I used to know.
ROFLMAO .... I so needed
