I just checked our joint checking account. H makes $22.70/hour. When he works a 40 hr week, he can easily clear $750.

His paycheck for the past week was $178. FREAKING $178!!! That means he worked maybe 8 or 9 hours, the ENTIRE WEEK? He's skipping work to go play with his OW.

H promised me $300 a week, for now. That doesn't even cover our rent on our apartment, PLUS $135/week goes to D3's daycare. I only work p/t because H didn't want me to work, and I'm looking for a second job. Because I work in the mornings, my availability is limited.

H walked away and left me with all the bills. He left me with the rent, the utilities, the groceries, the insurance, daycare, etc. All he has to pay is his car payment, his car insurance and his credit card. Plus, I haven't seen one single check post to his account since he left a month ago. He's not paying his bills, he's not going to work.

The day H left, i went to the bank and opened up my own separate checking account. He promised me he would do the same, so if he went over the limit on the account, it wouldn't affect me. it's been a month and he hasn't yet. it only takes 10 minutes!!!!

I can't believe it. $178. It pisses me off that H swears up and down that he's being the best dad he knows how to be, and he's being SOOO generous with me and d3, and the guy isn't even going to work.

I want to call him, but I decided not to. Anger doesn't lead anywhere. At this point, I don't want to ehar his voice, I don't want to see his face, I don't want to hear his name. I spent our whole marriage trying to take care of him and make him happy, he's on his own for now.
