He was a total shit to me, saying goodbye in a text and not even telling me why. I was just left hanging. He cut me off completely. I never imagined another woman because he had just been sending me sweet nothings and coming to my house. Then my son said his dad was in a serious relationship, and I was floored. After 36 years, I get a text—coward with no balls. We have been talking about reconciliation since last January. My son knew? My ex still has never told me why he dumped me like a bag of garbage. Everyone is shocked, saying how much he always told them he adored me. He even dumped my daughters and grandchildren, too. No, I did not deserve this at all. But it's what I got, and today makes a month ago, I got that text. I have lost 14 pounds and cried a lot of tears because we communicated every day. It's like I am hollow, and part of my body has been cut off. The sudden shock has floored me, not the loss—backstabber.
