Not moving in anymore
Well, we are, but not in two weeks and not in to the flat we fell in love with :'( Neill's had trouble changing the mortgage on his old house (which he has to pay as his son still lives there) so it's looking more like September. Doesn't seem like long, but I'm still really upset about it, mainly because we lost the flat we really loved.
Also a looooooooong story with the soon to be ex wife. She's kicked up a real fuss because she wants him to give her another chance (he's spent the last 23 years giving her chances) but she's shown him literally no love or affection or anything, and they've both admitted to each other that they have no idea why they got married. For him it was a sense of duty because she had a 6 year old daughter with no father (whom she had to pin down the last bloke), and for her it was because she wanted a father for him. She even admitted that she had their son to pin Neill down! He could NOT have made it any clearer that it's over, I've seen every text and he tells me about every conversation, they've seperated their assets and have spoken about filing for divorce. They've even been to a counsellor together, who agreed with Neill that divorce was the best thing and that she hasn't dealt with her underlying, deep seated emotional issues that she's had since childhood, which is the reason she is so un-affectionate, and that their marriage hasn't worked, etc. So she's done nothing but treat him like shite for 23 years, and has been throwing herself a little pity party ever since.
It makes me angry, she only wants to keep him because she's afraid of being alone and because he pays the bills. She's so scared of being by herself that she's clinging to someone who doesn't make her happy, and who she doesn't make happy either. Last night she text him and said that she had taken some pills to block it all out for a while, and she's threatened to kill herself in the past. It pees me off, she doesn't love him, and he doesn't love her. Neill and I actually DO love each other, more than anything. Why can't she just cooperate?
Obviously I know why, but it's for purely selfish reasons that she's doing it. Half the time I'm angry at her, and half the time I feel sorry for her because she's texting him and saying "you're forgiven, I'll forgive you anything please don't shut me out" and stuff like that, because she's SO scared of being alone, and for her own good he's having to text back and say "I'm sorry but no" so he feels like a number 1 arsehole for doing it, but if he gives her even a little false hope then she'll think he's coming back, even though he's been gone for months and they're half way through a divorce. So everyone's confused today!
I completely understand why she's doing everything, and I don't want to hurt her in any way. If we can possibly get away without hurting her, then that's the main aim. But I don't agree with her motives. She wants him because she's scared, and I want him because I love him and he loves me. So I can't help being a little bit angry at her sometimes I guess. She's saying to him that she doesn't want their son staying with us when we move out because it's an adulterous relationship, therefore a bad influence. So he said to her "well divorce me then, and I can marry Ellie", though not in so many words lol. So she knows it's serious between us, she's just doing everything she can to keep us apart in any way she possibly can. Urrrggghhhhhh my head hurts!!
lol
Sorry, AGAIN I'm ranting. It's turned in to a bit of an essay, I just felt like I needed to write (or type) my feelings down so I could get them in to some sort of order!
Sorry everyone
