My ex and I were talking about reuniting last year. We divorced because he was an alcoholic. That was seven years ago, and he had been sober for almost two years. One night we went out to dinner, came back to my place, and he left for an AA meeting. Then cut off all communication with me! I tried everything to get him to tell me what had happened. He avoided me altogether. Finally, my son told me his dad had a girlfriend. Why didn't he tell me? I call that cheating on a different level, but I found out he was engaged to this woman when we were still talking about remarrying, which is what he always wanted, not me. Just be honest!! That was the beginning of a slew of lies he was telling, and it was his demise. Long story short his "fiancé" found out about me and broke it off with him (although she's still hanging around) and he is sitting in jail on his 4th DUI charge. He had been drinking since the day he walked out on me. I dodged a bullet but what a coward. A liar is a coward, plain and simple.
