Hi Maggie,

Sometimes people act three times more horrible than the horrible thing which has happened to them so that the original horrible thing stops. And it has. She won. She got her wish. He won’t leave his young family because the emotional abuse they witness towards him and experience isn’t worth his relationship with you.

They rightly or wrongly built a family together. The ends justify the means. The wife used that strategy and mindset to keep the family together. It worked. She won.

Your job now is to gracefully go off into the sunset.

Best,

Inky
