My husband asked me to wait at least until Christmas before I did anything about moving toward selling our home. I am afraid that putting a deadline on it is going to result in making an irrevocable decision to sell our home, prematurely. Any advice on how to approach this decision?
You don't bring the subject up. If he does, then you can say soething like " This isn't a surprise, but it's taken me back a bit. Let me get back to you". Buy time if you choose to. Time (believe it or not) is your friend.
PL said that her commitment was to DB 6 mos then 3 mos at a time. Mine is every day. Every morning when I get up I think "I'm going to make it through today." Then I 'll look at tomorrow when it's today.
I agree that "family" contact for the holidays would be good and that he wants to is a positive. Have a talk with your D's. I get the anger and hurt. She's old enough to "get" that he's hurting and going through a confusing time in his life. As well as to have some compassion for him. It's worth a shot.
