How can I make this a short story? Long tough week.
I asked H today if he was staying or leaving. H said "I'll leave today if you want me too." I said I'm tired of that threat all the time. I said I'm going to a meeting, you can pack up what's left and be gone when I get home. More time, more stuff said, H came and took my coffee and set it down and hugged me a long time. Before I left he asked "what will you do if I'm not gone when you get back?" I said "what can I do?" H said he had errands to do but he let me know that if he wasn't here when I got home that he was just doing errands and would be home this evening. I'm not backing down, this screwed up life has to change. I just don't know how to enforce my words.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
