Well I have found out since my H's last call on Monday (through his old best friend) that my H really is giving up on the shop but it is not just a judgement call on his behalf. Instead it is because he got in an arguement with the shop owner he rents from and my H cant deal with anyone telling him he is wrong.
This is so typical of my H. Last year when he moved out he first rented an apartment from his uncle for 3 weeks, but got in an argument with him also and then moved out the next day to an apt.
My H thinks that he is the only one ever that is right. And as soon as anyone elses views conflict with his, he disowns them. No wonder why he couldnt stand being M'd.
I do believe that my H is deeply in replay. And that is where this "always right attitude" is coming from. Because he never used to be so arrogant until his bankruptcy.
I am starting to get really worried about what & how he is doing right now since I didn't think his ego could take another blow. But him giving up on his new auto shop is a big blow to him no matter how "cool" he is acting about it and saying he's o.k. Not to mention he spent at least 15 grand in getting it up and running and now it is all a waste - how can he feel he is o.k.
Many people have told me right along - watch your H come running back to you if and when his new shop fails. He hasn't shown any signs of wanting to come back yet, but who knows???? TIPPER
