I guess as long as I'm in the house, he's got all the control. I completely rely on him financially. If I move in with my mom, I won't need his money, and can actually save up some.
He's cutting me off financially Nov. 1. He said he'll give me whatever $ I need for the kids, but he will no longer be paying the bills. We have no debts, except for my car and his HD, but he won't pay PG&E, cell phone, groceries, etc...
He said again last night that he wants to work on our marriage, but he is going to file for divorce. I told him that as long as he files for divorce, I will not be "working on the marriage". He asked why. I told him that if the end result is still going to be divorce, what's the point? He doesn't get it, and thinks that if we file for divorce, we'll have a 6mo waiting period, and we can always stop it, but if we do nothing, he's going to let it go thru.
