Hi, Yanonako!
Well, the irony is that when he said we're finished/separate, what comes to me was largely disappointment & relief that I didn't have to face mom in law again, followed by emptiness and sadness... I guess I've had a premonition since he never stood up for me when it involves his mother. He underestimates a lot of our problems and that just won't do for me.
Like you said, a relationship can only work when two people respect, understand, and compromise. Not just one side. I've come to accept that this will not work.
After everything is said and done, thanks for being here, Yanonako :'D
Last week was hard, but I kept coming back here to re-read all the comments. It gave me strength and I'm slowly picking up myself. I can say I'm fine now, because I have you guys :')
Thanks again,
xoxo,
SweetChiel
