(I hate to say this, sometimes I wish that he would just take a swing at me. It would be easier having that visible, concrete evidence of unacceptable behavior.) Thanks, Bunny
Bunny,
After all that's happened, you truly don't think there has been concrete evidence of unacceptable behavior? I'm speechless. . .
I'd tell him about the apartment after I'd decided and signed a lease. Cool and calm. "H I've decided that what's best for me is to move out of our home. I've found an apartment and signed a lease. We'll need to talk about splitting up household items, etc."
And if you don't feel safe, do it in public. And don't tell him where the apartment is, if you feel like he'd be harassing you.
