Just prior to the pandemic, I introduced my frail mother to live with us.
The stresses of this 24/7 care, coupled with COVID and my spouse working from residence, have been much more than our romantic relationship could bear.
As it is her home, she recently requested me to go away and I reluctantly positioned my mother in a nursing residence. I’m pleased to say that she’s undertaking really very well there.
My ex and I nonetheless communicate each day, and she normally mentions that she “wants me in her life” but has no curiosity in cohabiting.
I’m a proficient renovator and continue on to perform careers for her at her request. I have expressed my desire for a reconciliation, but she has no curiosity in that, even though telling me she “loves” me. I obtain this combined message bewildering.
Am I squandering my time holding out hope for a reconciliation? Am I staying taken benefit of?
She is a psychologist with an personal information into the working mind, which only serves to include to my confusion on her stance.
Pricey Lover: I really do not see these messages as “mixed”: She would like to reconcile she does not want you to go back in.
I hope you proceed to see this as an possibility to connect about any upcoming you may possibly have as a pair, but if you are undertaking house repairs predominantly in the hopes that she will want you to go back in with her, then come to my residence!
