So the old saying - actions speak louder than words?

I love your term "fogbabble." I'll try to remind myself of this
"Don't believe anything they tell you, and only half of what they do" when he speaks fogbabble.

I know you're right because I really don't see him taking his focus away from blaming me for everything or even trying to improve life for himself. He pretty much just lays around and watches TV when he's at home. None of the house projects are getting completed!

When he goes to the lake for the weekends he supposedly does a lot of "thinking" which I really think he just does a lot of rehashing of everything and justifying for himself. I don't think he really gets out and does any fishing or anything enjoyable.

For all of his talk about wanting to be happy and have a happy last third of his life, he's sure not doing anything about it.

I do feel good about the changes I'm making and I feel like I'm on the right course for myself. My friend told me today that she would of had a hard time telling him dinner was ready - she'd just let him fend for himself. But, that's not the kind of person I want to be. I don't want to get sucked into his angry, bitter world. It's not a place I care to live!
