Thanks Sue and Pam,

I am trying to prepare myself for Sunday when he says that he needs more time and needs to leave for "good". I know it isn't hopeless, I have seen some of the success stories here. I'm climbing up from the emotional hole I was in a few days ago.

This isn't going to turn around overnight. He needs to figure this out. I worked on correcting problems A, B, C, etc. that we identified back in November, but without his help, I just can't go any further in fixing our problems. He needs to fix his and I need to build a life for my own. And, I just can't be perfect. I can't be the perfect housekeeper and the stress of trying to do it was killing me and making me resentful.

I'm not going to bring up anything on Sunday. I will be happy to see him and leave it at that.

Jackie
