I won't be the one worried because it's 3:00 am and he's not home
This has been the best for me since H moved out, Sue. I go to bed, and even if I do wake up at 3am, I have nothing to worry about. I don't care where H is, not my worry at the moment. Its wonderful to go to bed and wake up the next day like that. I swear its amazing.

Or the one who has to listen to his anger when something doesn't go his way
Even though H's worst anger was over by November or so, he is even more respectful and kind towards me now that he is gone. I don't have to witness the irrational anger at things, his short fuse. And now that we mostly have the kids at separate times, he is not stressed by my presence, and has his own calm time with the girls too.
You also mentioned about making your own plans. I used to try to have the kids home when he would be there, but no longer. I am still considerate, but expect him to work with me as well. Its working well so far.
I love JoDee Messina, by the way. Don't forget "Roll With The Punches".
