Her Husband Walked Out On Her A Week Ago And Said He Needed Space To Decide If He Wants A Divorce, But He Keeps Reaching Out To Her And Playing “Mind Games”
This 29-year-old woman and her husband, who is 32, just separated about a week ago. Since then, he has moved all of his belongings out of their house and gone to live with his parents.
“And his parents and I don’t get along, so I am sure they’re enjoying it,” she said.
Every day since her husband moved out, however, he will text her to ask if she is okay. On top of that, he asks that she not hook up with anyone until their divorce is finalized and believes it’s important for mutual respect.
Her husband even claimed that if she hooked up with someone while they were still married, then he would never be able to look at her the same again. Plus, he said there would be absolutely no chance of them ever getting back together if she did that.
So, she simply did not respond to that text message. But then, her husband reached out twice and asked her to have dinner with him for his birthday, which is tomorrow.
That honestly just confused her, though. She has no idea what his intentions are, being that he was the one who left her and decided to end their marriage.
“So I asked if he was trying to reconcile our marriage or talk about divorce matters,” she recalled.
But her husband just said they didn’t have to do either of those things if she didn’t want to. In fact, he swore that he just wanted to go to dinner.
Still, since her husband asked her out to eat so spontaneously, she started to wonder if he was trying to play mind games. And now, it kind of seems like he is.

He has continued to “bother” her every day since he walked out on her. Yet, when she asks what his intentions are, her husband just claims that he needs space, time, and a few weeks to decide how he wants to proceed.
That’s why she wound up telling her husband that she just wanted a divorce because she simply did not want to wait around until he decided what to do.
“Only for him to decide to come back when he realizes the grass isn’t greener over there,” she added, “It isn’t fair to me.”
Her husband just doesn’t get that, though, and actually told her to stop acting out of her emotions. He also claimed that he would check back in with her in a few weeks to let her know if he wanted to get divorced or try to work out their marriage.
And at that point, he said she would either be able to “say yes” and take him back or “say no” and officially end it.
Still, she just cannot seem to wrap her mind around why her husband is acting like this and has been left wondering how to cope with his back-and-forth behavior.
Why do you think her husband walked out on her yet continues to reach out to her every day? Does it seem like he’s unsure of his decision? Is it fair that she should have to wait around until he makes up his mind? If you were in her shoes, what would you do?
