Louise? How did it go? I too stayed in a relationship way longer than I should have because I felt guilty like I would be pulling the rug out from under him. Truth is he did not deserve my consideration. He too would act like he was hearing my concerns for the first time even though I complained about the same things all the time. Then after I have expressed my hurt over some disrespectful treatment or the other he would look straight at me and say “I don’t know what you’re talking about”. He would constantly accuse me of betrayal ( when all along he was the one sleeping around, I came to find out). Years later I realize that he is mentally unstable. Long story short, after my years of sticking around he left me for another woman in another country, abandoning his kids and responsibilities without a word. I pity her because this man is a psychopath.

Sorry to to have veered off into my own tale. I’m really interested to know how things turned out for you.
