My daughter made the observation when we split up, that my ex was like a toddler in an adult body. He often behaved childishly
That is true. Our kids love us at a young age, but it is really more need-based love. My S3 paints us black if we don't do what he wants "I don't love you!" Then hours later, he'll say the opposite.
when you find yourself longing for something that ultimately never was... . ask yourself if you really want to be married to a child?
It's better to not let toxic people (which he is, and dangerous, too... . that won't change)
rent space in our heads. Detachment is difficult... . I'm still going through it. It is why we are all here to support each other.
