He came back in 2017, teased me like he was still interested in me, remained married to me from 2010 to November 2018, he is now living with a lady ... she is around 47, dark hair heavy set, not very attractive, looks like an amazon around 6 foot, I almost feel sorry for her, she looks, and acts desperate, I believe he is renting a room from her, he doesn't like to be by himself, is possibly working for her to pay his rent, I believe he was seeing her while he was still married to me. He left me because, I stopped helping him pay the bills, he did not want to combine his money with mine, in a joint bank account, so I felt if I wasn't worthy of sharing a bank account with him, then he wasn't worthy of my help, support with the bills, after all I did not know what he did with the rest of his money after he paid his portion of the bills, actually he made more money than me, so it wasn't fair that I pay half anyway, I felt he was hiding something, and did not trust me either, to expect me to just accept living like a roommate financially.

I did love him though, if it wasn't for his greed we actually had a very fun romantic lifestyle together, we were compatible in every other way, we definitely had a very good sex life together, there was a whole lot of chemistry, you can't fake that! I do believe he loved me, but his greed would not allow him to make compromises for the sake of our marriage, and I believe he had a lot of outside influences, there was a lot of jealousy, but he let the greed and outside influences come between us, now I'm sure he has security financially with this lady, I believe he is in some kind of an arrangement with, but you always get what you settle for, he left a huge dent in my life, it was a definite learning experience, I'm not sure what he learned from it, but at best I know he definitely went from good to bad, and that is what keeps me going, maybe he learned that with money comes a lot of loveless, and sexless nights, but again in the end you get what you settle for!!! LOL!!!
