Question for those who married/had long-term relationships with their Ns
Question for those who married/had long-term relationships with their Ns
I was with my ex for maybe 8-9 months total. Part of that was long-distance. It ended when he apparently decided he was done with me and vanished from my life without an explanation beyond the obvious lie of "Nothing's wrong - we're still friends." I had no say in the matter.
For those of you who were with your Ns for years, either in marriage or an otherwise committed relationship: what made you stay so long? Was it that he didn't show his true colors for quite awhile so you didn't know what he was? Was it him repeatedly promising to change (and actually acting like he had for awhile)? Was it a matter of low self-esteem? Was it that you kept thinking that if you hung in there, things would eventually even out and everything would be fine?
