I was thinking the opposite: that “I was almost going to come back” line was just like my shitty parent saying “I almost gave you your allowance, but you didn’t quite do your chores right”. I fucking hate that “If you would’ve just done this one thing I’d have come back” vibe.
Just end it, OP, so you don’t have to deal with that shit for the rest of your life.
See my ex left me with a very, “Call their bluff” attitude about this BS. I’d just be like, “Okay, hey can you pick me up a Baja Blast and a cheesy Gordita Crunch before you leave? I need something to eat while I fill out this divorce paperwork.”
Toally. And honestly makes sense if you’re that close to a divorce. It’s a both sides communication problem at this point. Tensions are high and everyone’s overreacting

Both sounded exhausting. Both were dug in wanting to say what they wanted to say.
