Dear CB:

I don’t know, CB. If he was a good man all these years, I would think that he would not blindside you and leave you as he did, not explaining much.

I know almost nothing about the nature of your relationship of 27 years. I don’t know why he was surprised that you did care about him (he was surprised at my reaction he doesn’t believe I want him”). I don’t know and what you shared didn’t give me enough information to be guessing beyond what I already guessed (the middle age crisis part-explanation).

Did you and him talk at any time in the history of your relationship about your relationship objectives: what you wanted, and what he wanted from the relationship and from life overall?
