Thanks for the advice, Karen and Nic. It's not falling on deaf ears. I just signed up for Salsa dance lessons for six weeks starting next Wednesday. I'll need to figure something out to keep me busy on Sundays - Saturdays are already busy, but Sundays are torture.

I still really feel like H and I need some space - like one of us needs to move out for a while. I don't want to be the one to have to move right now (since I won't be able to keep the house permanently on my own anyway - too $$$$) and I'm thinking of asking him for some space and letting him figure out what to do... I have an appointment with my IC tomorrow. I'll run it by him and see what he thinks. I'm just so exhausted from my efforts without getting the slightest thing in return.

Haven't called a lawyer yet, but looked them up in the phone book. Man, are there a lot of listings for attorneys...!
