It seems he got triggered because I said I wish I could walk away as easily from our responsibilities but I wouldn’t.
He said he didn’t walk away from our family he walked away from me.
Then went on to say he didn’t feel appreciated, though I was trying to do what I can for him whilst trying to function and handle the mental load I was drowning in anyway, I didn’t defend myself at all despite the itch I just wanted to hear him out.
When I asked why he didn’t communicate any of his internal feelings with me, before discarding, he said he didn’t feel he needed to tbh his response was confusing but what I understood was that I should’ve known how he was feeling because it was ‘apparent’. He had to go and said he’d call me back to continue, he didn’t. He messaged instead to say he’ll talk to me tomorrow ‘not that he wants to or needs to’ since I’m calm in my responses so he’s open to conversing, 4 months after exiting an 8 year marriage without a proper conversation.
I know he’s rewritten the entire relationship and tbh I had to have a good cry after the conversation because of how unjust it felt to my efforts over the years and an insult to my character. Had he ever sat me down and talked about his feelings, I would’ve went above and beyond to ensure he felt ‘appreciated’. I don’t know if I should conversate further that’s if he even comes back for a conversation or decides to leave it.
