What was just said to me was just too good not to share. My very-soon-to-be-ex who did something unprovoked and intentionally very hurtful tonight actually had the audacity to say to me after I got upset and was in a bad mood that I should be aware of how my being upset is MAKING HIM FEEL and that I should be ashamed of WHAT I AM DOING. This stuff just CANNOT be made up. At moments like these it sometimes hard to accept that this is really happening. That someone is actually thinking and feeling such ridiculous things. I just can't even believe it. This can't possibly be my life. This person can't possibly exist in reality. Does it not even occur to him that he is the VERY CAUSE of the thing he is complaining about?? Nowhere in his brain does it occur to him that if he hadn't intentionally hurt me I wouldn't be upset and "bothering him"? Oh and by being upset, I simply mean that I was sitting in another room by myself and silently crying. I know we've already discussed that there is something terribly wrong with this man. But, I mean, COME ON!
The audacity . . .

Freedom is coming

My favorite part of your post was "very soon to be ex". So you're doing it, Caroline! Freedom from this kind of bizarro-world stuff is coming!
When it comes to splitting up your possessions, who gets the toilet paper? :)
You're right . . .

Even though I'm headed out the door I still can seem to shake the absolute disbelief that this person is the way he is. Maybe I'm really naive or just expect things to be a certain way. I'm starting to wonder if I even stayed as long as I did because of some morbid curiosity. Ha! Your toilet paper comment made me laugh :)
Up is down

Once you are free of him, you will have the distance you need, which will be fabulous. Those "I just cannot even believe this" moments are kind of astounding, aren't they? Good for you for knowing how completely whacked out his point of view is. At some point, you will feel maybe a little pity for this man and not much else. Hang in there.
