And blowing cigar smoke in her face, while she was 8 months pregnant. The man does not even care enough for his own child not to do that let alone his wife.
The people demanding respect are too often those who do not deserve it.
Reminds me of when my ex had me in a vehicle and kept blowing cigarette smoke in my face, rather than roll down the window, even though I asked nicely, multiple times, then not nicely, to no avail. Then ran to his cousin and cried about me cursing him out, in front of me, then when I told her what he'd done, said if it were her, she would have knocked the 💩 out of him.
He's so fragile, he gives himself tachycardia to even approach consideration that he may, in fact, be the problem in all his failed relationships (and wonders why his daughter calls him "sperm donor," rather than "dad."
Jeez sorry that happened to you, glad he's an ex now.
No worries, and thanks so much. I am, too. When we get sick of ourselves, we learn and do the work, or keep blaming everyone else and don't.
Before my last big breakthrough with crappy romantic relationships, I was sitting alone and didn't leave my home for three months, while I kicked drama (my own and others'), alcohol, weed, cigarettes (still vaping though, let me be honest), wondering, "why did this and that one treat me so poorly, when I treated them so well," and saving grace of saving grace, the thought popped into my head, "You let them." It was the beginning of learning how to set healthy boundaries. Not walls, which are isolating and keep us suspicious, grasping, and nasty, nor wide open, for anyone to exploit. And maybe that's a lifetime lesson, EE will occasionally trust one who is faking and distrust another who is sincere. The point is learning from mistakes, and discerning when someone who wrongs me has wrong character, in general, or is just going through their own stuff and had a momentary lapse of reason.
