While it might seem safe to keep the status quo, the safety is really just an illusion. I think we're all afraid that making changes will somehow send the WAS over the edge, when in fact it will probably free them up to take a look in our direction, unless they're already not going to in any case.
So true, sunny. So true. We have to move on with choices that are healthiest and best for us at some point, and when you know it's time then you know you it's time.
I'm looking into the idea of selling my house next spring/summer and buying a log home with a little land in the mountains about 30-45 min out of town. I've always wanted to do this, but couldn't get W to jump on board. Now I can do it. If W was to want to work things out, I would reconsider this move, but in the meantime I've got to move on with what's best for me. The commute won't be too bad, and it won't be so far away that it creates a problem with exchanging the kids (it'll still happen at daycare anyway). I wish it was already next summer so I could do this because I'm so excited by the prospect, but I can wait -- don't want to skip through the ski season!).
CVA,
I understand your being methodical on the choice, but I definitely think it should be a priority for you at this point. I think we all can agree on this. Keep thinking hard on this one. I really believe this ball needs to get rolling.
