Quote: well h says he's leaving in a half hour and will be home...he'll wait out the storm here and then go out.
thing is that both kids will already be asleep by the time he gets here so why come as he wont be here when they wake and I've already told him I'm done??
Because he wants to be with you. Guys can be very stupid about expressing themselves to their spouses. Believe me - I'm one of them!
Quote: I don't get it, h only wants to be with me when I give up??? when I say that I will be ok without him, that I don't need him? it baffles me truly baffles me.
You're detaching from him - your sitch. He knows it and is trying to react to it the only way he knows how - by spending time with you. In a way it's a good thing but you want more. Frankly LL, you deserve more. To borrow something from my work with the outplacement service - he does not have your skill set. To put a humorous spin on it:
The wheel is turning but the hamster is d**d!
He's a few fries short of a Happy Meal!
He's two tacos short of a combo platter!
But what can you do? I like the items that you listed at the beginning of the thread - especially the one about the volunteer EMS. Spread your wings, LL!
I am far from a Christian person but I particularly like one of their sayings on the BB:
Let go, Let God.
Protect yourself - protect those wonderful children of yours. I need to go fix dinner for mine...
P.S. - Really this CyberSitter software W put on our home computers!
