What about our joint savings. Does anyone out there believe me unreasonable to ask that it not be touched for her move. She obviously says that 50% of it should be her's (which would be about $10,000 outside of our retirememt money) and is quite upset about it.
I used the argument that every big purchase that we have made with savings thus far has been agreed to by both of us and I don't agree to this one. We only have 1 joint checking account which we pretty much use month to month. So she would be starting from 0 and would need to go into debt to get started. I am fine with that, be she says that I am being unreasonable. Does anyone out there agree with her?
As for me, I am doing OK. Better than a few nights ago; it is still extremely hard. I have slipped a couple times in the pursuing part a couple times the past couple of days; but nothing like asking for a kiss. I have touched her on the shoulder a couple of times. She has done the same. As long as we are in the same house, it is tough to be completely dark.
W went out with a mutual friend that knows the sitch and is very pro-marriage. She has been gone for a long time now. Not sure if anything is coming of it; but I am glad that they are talking right now. Our girls deserve better than this.
Speaking of the girls. I have spent much of the weekend with them. Its been a good distraction from everything. At one point, I often wondered if I could really handle them alone; now I have no doubt.
