Did you ask your H to leave in the end? And he agreed and left? My H threatened for months to leave, then when I asked him to (after he told me about A), he left for one night and came back. When I asked him just what he thought he was doing 'back', he said he missed me, the girls, and felt bad putting it on my shoulders. But then, I got a little "Its my house too" attitude. So, now. Here we are, co-existing. Now, my situation is a bit different. As of now, I am the bread winner and work crazy hours, so really, technically he has nothing to move out with. BUT...I don't think of it as my money, I really don't. If he moved out, I would expect him to pay for it with OUR money anyway. Also, his dad lives alone in a huge house and he could move there, but admitted he doesn't want anyone to know right now. Especially his very religious father. Hmmm....
Other than something legal or things getting really ugly, I don't see him leaving anytime soon. I agree, I think in a way I would be very liberated if he left, but we both worry it would drive us farther apart as all.
Confused much? hehe
Its so hard isn't it? To put the happy face on for the kids, and inside you want to be bundled up in a ball under the bed. But, the good thing about kids is that life goes on, and we have to go with it, whether we want to or not.
