I need to vent.

I left my LVX in October. (I have taken every day since to heal and better myself as a woman!) A few weeks into NC (November), he texted me “Hi. How are you? Guess what? I got the promotion!” — A promotion he wasn’t given weeks prior and his co-worker received instead. It is also in law enforcement. There’s a process. He can’t receive a random promotion! I had a gut feeling he was lying.

Fast forward to today. As I was driving, I saw him (first time since October— which felt a little odd) in his usual position (he wouldn’t be there if he got promoted)!!!!!

Why would he have texted me that back in November? To make me feel regret for breaking up with him? To make it look like he was doing better without me? I don’t understand these men! Like what did he get out of randomly texting me that?

Anyway, I felt such a sense of relief “catching” him in a lie. Not that I’ve thought about it since he texted me that day— HOWEVER it is confirmation for me! My gut was right. It, in fact, has always been right!!!! We TRULY need to follow our intuition. It will not fail us!
