Help Me Act AS IF, Part 5

[cw68]

My H and I agreed to a number of things that haven't happened. The two biggest, to me, are that after each of us having six IC appointments, we'd go back into MC and that we would have a date night every other week. H refused to go to MC and we've been out together exactly once since January.

When my H said he had to leave, I gave him a deadline to be gone. It was a Thursday that he told me. I told him he had to find somewhere to spend that weekend. Then he could come back Monday, I left for FLA on Thursday, returned on Sunday. On Tuesday he left for DC to return on Friday. He had to have an apartment to move into that weekend. I couldn't have it hanging over my head and I wanted him out right then.

Sorry for the financial aspects. We were able to halt our monthly investments and 401k to cover the extra expenses. Sharing the house allowed us to get a smaller, cheaper apartment, too, and we didn't have to buy beds for the kids. He brought our guest bed and an extra dresser from the house. The rest of the furniture either came from a friend or Craigslist. Craigslist rocks. The extra expenses suck.
