I am just going "dark" I guess as much as one can go dark when still livng together.

like Ian said no talks of anything except when it comes to the kids or finances. That is what I was doing last night when I was showing no interest in small talk w/ him.

I did make enough food for all of us. I can't seem to just be able to eat infront of him and not let him eat too. So, as far as only making enough food just for me and the kids well that's a hard one for me. I remember how hurt I was when he would do that to me out of spite a long time ago.

I asked nicely and politely if he sould clean the dishes and he got angry b/c he a lot to do to get ready for his trip. H ewas ironing his clothes "you see I'm not just sitting on my ass". I did not say you were I just said when you finish. You see he has had it tooo cushy and not helping w/ ANY house hold chores whatsoever. I am changing that too. At one time he was doing the dishes every night and w/out me asking him too(can we say-guilt?). He stopped and has gotten too comfortable. I fianlly told him that I did not have to take his crap anymore. H says "fine then move out" I just shook my head in agreement.

Well, I went to bed w/out doing the dishes and lo and behold he did them!!
