Sorry to hear about the tough stuff blueheart. I'm in a similar spot I believe. I was just agaonizing in my own thread about whether or not I am enabling my waw by showing up and fixing things and writing checks for her. But at the same time my kids are involved so i don't know how to avoid it. This is hard. Anyway, stay strong. Don't be depressed. Drop the rope and let him find out how empty a relationship can be with someone based on what you described above.
