The reason I am 'beating him about the head' about it is simple:
He is living in a sheltered, fantasy land and it pisses me off.
If he is so eager to be out on his own, why isn't he shouting it from the rooftops? You read about plenty of WAWs on here who make no secret of what they are doing. Why is he?
I told him last night that he should be confident/sure of himself and not ashamed of his decision, it is HIS decision! He did the whole thing about not being proud, not being happy and not even being sure of it.
Well, sorry. When you decide to walk away from your family, it means you WALK AWAY. You don't play happy family every free minute you have. Since this came about, a month or so ago, he has spent more time with the kids than he ever did before. He is home 5-6 nights a week. WTF. He should be out looking for furniture and packing his crap not snuggling on my couch with the kids...
