Tabitha, I think you should definitely wait until you've had the chance to discuss this with your therapist. As far as your ex just showing up at your door, I hate when people do that! I think it's so rude and narcissistic. It's like saying, "You can't possibly be doing anything important right now. And nothing is more important than entertaining me and attending to my needs. So stop what you're doing and strike up the band because I'm here." I got so fed up with people showing up uninvited, that I don't answer the door at all unless I've invited someone. The only exception I make is for UPS and FedEx deliveries. Anyway, back to your therapy session. . . I think that discussing it with your therapist will help you sort out your feelings, and it may galvanize you for any eventual contact with the ex. I hope you won't mind my saying this (I think it's safe to say it, now that you are no longer dating that guy). . .I've read a number of your posts over many months, and you come across as being a very intelligent, capable, competent person, and I think you deserve much better than what that guy had to offer you. Oh, and I've also been very impressed with the way you've handled your sabbatical. You've been so productive! Whenever I read your posts about the work you do around your house, I wish that I were as organized as you are!
