Hi mel! hope you are well!

I came back to look at your post as it helped me last time! It just seems one thing after another to be honest. I was back on track, but recently found out he told random strangers at a party some deep secret of mine. He was the only person in the world i thought i could trust, and never in a million years thought he would betray me.

He was drunk at the time, but is this really an excuse? I know people make mistakes, but when i confronted him about what i heard (by text) he kept calling me. Eventually i decided to pick up, and he gave me half an apology! He turned it all around on me, and said how my secret was such a burden on him (and making me feel guilty about this serious problem i had where I was the one who needed comfort!). I know it could be a burden, but its the fact he told a stranger, not even one of our close friends who could have helped.

Does this show the action of someone who cares about me at all?!! I told him how he had changed, and was drinking all the time. He didnt take this well, and said actually that hes much happier now, and more focussed.Pretty much much better off without me (which no one believes is true...everyone thinks hes turned into a self obsessed, selfish b******!)

So, he then told our mutual friend that he doesnt care what i think of him. I just dont understand. If he didnt care, why did he keep calling me to set the record straight.
My friend thinks its so that he feels he still has power over me. I just dont know what to think. I had some kind of comfort thinking he at least cared about me still, but I was very wrong. It just hurts so much...i can hardly beleive its the same person i loved once.

Thanks to anyone who reads this, any advice would be so much appreciated..i need as many perspectives as i can get!
