Changes in people
When the person you loved turned into something you can't recognise, don't like, and don't want to be anywhere near then you have to finally accept that it is over. Eve wants her freedom to pursue whatever path she seeks for herself, I will not be playing any part of that future, and having seen the person into which she has changed over the last couple of weeks I have to admit to myself I am glad I won't be a part of that life. I am told her behaviour is called a pseudo-psychosis where someone who has been confined lets go and indulges all the desires and wants and needs. Up till now I would have taken her back, but the last weekend has ended any chance of that happening at all. There is no coming back from the point we're at now, if she emerges from this phase and finds she's made a terrible mistake it will be too late, because I won't be there to pick up the pieces, I won't be there to offer forgiveness and reconciliation, those bridges were nuked out of existence when she told me that she doesn't love me, doesn't want to try rebuilding our relationship. This is entirely her choice, she is responsible for her choices, for her actions, and for her words. Whether she ever feels remorse, upset, or distress, whether this path she has chosen leaves her hurt, broken, abused, or worse, it is no longer my concern, it is not my problem anymore. I offered a chance at redemption, and rebuilding, and reconciliation, that has being clearly and totally rejected. I accept this, now we have to move on to ending the marriage, and I have to look to start anew.
