My x asked me to drop by his house so he could get my opinion on some financial matters... it seems weird, but it is almost as if he has more respect for me and my brain, now that we are separated.

He had been in all day, going over paperwork and old mail etc. I just couldn't help but think how pathetic he looked. This guy who declared to the world that he is happy being alone, doesn't need or want anybody, yet after one day of being alone he is reaching out for some human contact.

They say that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference... and that is what I felt last night while sitting across from him, listening to him go on and on about his financial woes... I'm just so glad I could walk away from the situation, and not be bogged down in his troubles... I remember looking at him and wondering what I ever saw in him... he was like a sad lonely little boy, who had no friends, because they are all busy with their own lives. He has driven them all away by trying to be grand and important, chasing the impossible dream.

Is anyone else's x sad and pathetic now that the dust has settled?
