I promise myself that from now on, things are going to be different. I am going to make my plans with myself, my kids, & my friends, without waiting for H to call from work, come home from work, or finish his work at home.
Life is too short to wait all the time.
I tried that ... all it got me was "you are excluding me... making sure to not involve me in the kids' lives".
If I were to do it again, I'd make sure I was clear with him what I was doing it & why. That was probably my mistake. I just 'did it'. He viewed it as controling & manipulative. I viewed it as "getting off the pot" so to speak.
Waiting around for a work-a-holic to decide to stop working is insane. However, in my case, just taking the kids & going on with life, even while in the same house, just pushed him further away & into his job.

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
