Sucking Up
I finally went away for the weekend. JJ stayed at my place with the kids and the dogs, and I went to visit SP and his family. I hadn't seen him in over 6 years. I hadn't seen his wife in 7 or 8 years. We had a nice visit. It was nice to just go away for a couple of days and have no demands on my time for a short while.
When I got home, JJ was still there. I got back on the last ferry, so it was too late for him to go home.
JJ started telling me what he had done on the weekend. He cleaned my oven. He cleaned the stove-top and all of the dials. It sparkles now! I couldn't figure out why he would do that. In 18 years of marriage, he cleaned the oven only once. Now that we are separated, he does housework.
He asked me if I wanted to know what advice he was getting from friends now. I said "no". He said he was being advised to go back to his wife. It turns out that SHE is advising him to come back to me now.
Too bad.
I've been hurt deeply.
I told him the first time he left me that he could only come back once. I broke my own rule when he left me a second time. This is the third time. He told me he is not coming back. I am not going to play games with him anymore.
I'm through.
He knows that. So why is he sucking up to me? Does he really think I'm that much of a push-over? Not this time, buddy.
Never again.

I discovered yesterday that JJ did even more for me... he left Ferrero Rocher chocolates in my coffee cup, and in my coat pocket.
We have not had a discussion since he said he's not coming back. I've avoided conversation with him, aside from discussing the kids and taxes.
It's time to get some boxes and pack up the rest of his stuff.
