Working for ex husband?

[trinat]

In Sept2012 he told me that it is over between us, after 15 years (!!?).. that he found a love of his life… I cried,begged him to think clearly, be sensible, that we have so much in front of us as a couple etc… now after 6-7 months we are still living together, I am arranging things to finally move to my new house… once again things are going his way… In our relationship- he was the boss, me arguing a bit, but basically following him, doing things his way, (or there were arguments). No kids unfortunately (big arguments about that also)… when he told me about that ' love of his life' (his on and off mistress) he also told me he cannot give me things that I want (family, him as a person,his free time…)

 

And for all of these years I also worked for his firm (afternoons,nights, weekends… had no 'me' time, just pushing the business (us) to be bigger greater) and also trying to be as successful at my own position as auditor…well now, after all of these months that my participation in his firm ended (he employed a new girl that I am still coaching), he offered me a full time position … he said the new worker is just not the same as me.. what should I do.. I know that the love of his life (that is the only one that understands him!!) didn’t want to leave her husband right away and that they had a big fight over that..

 

I went through short therapy in Sept, because I was a wreck for the first few months, and the therapist mentioned, that it seems like we were a great team working together(mostly me delivering A), him delivering B), never us delivering AA))...

Am I crazy considering saying yes to him?

Am I crazy considering saying yes to him?

 

Sounds about right to me. I'd also accept dump, short-sighted, masochistic, weak-willed and normal. I can completely understand your heart wanting to do this. However, there's no way your brain should allow it.

 

You need to just get him out of your life. At best he's going to toy with you until he finds something better (and remember, he's already found it once and is presumably looking). There might be some good days or weeks, but that won't last. And at worst, you'll get a front row seat to watch him have the relationship with someone else that you want with him. This is a bad idea.

[sIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Well I do not want HIMback... used to, but not anymore. Realized it was just an unhealthy attachment, cry for shattered dreams. Am pretty sure. His business was my child... Absolutely I do miss the closeness and tenderness,the hugs, but not from him... this ‘we’ dream is over, I do not want that life back... alwaysbegging for his attention, for his time, for his participation in daily life, forhis words, thoughts...on the other hand me giving as much as I could and morefor that nothingness.[/FONT][/sIZE]

[sIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]What I want is to befinancially more stable and independent. Economy is not doing as good and mymonthly earning will certainly decrease.. at his firm, I’ll be able to earnalmost 100% more, then now.. of course I wouldn’t consider accepting this position without a sound contract withsome golden parachutes in...[/FONT][/sIZE]

[sIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Of course I am asking myselfif am I strong enough to watch as you nicely wrote the show from the first row ...with his old or newgirlfriends, lovers… I just now that I had to step over so many things for all those years and thatI am able to step over this as well.
