I took the time to read this whole post. I'm hoping for the best for you. My wife is planning on moving out Oct 1. I have no idea what to expect or what to hope for. Best of luck to you EB.
Hi. Welcome. Sorry you're here with the rest of us. I responded on your thread.
As for my sitch, I spent most of the day out of the house yesterday. Worked on my Jeep (I need to get it ready for the new owner. I sold it because I am preparing for financial issues after W moves out). I got out to have pizza and beer with a buddy for a couple of hours too. I left while she was at the grocery store made sure not to leave a note
W and I hugged a little yesterday. She sat with me on the back patio swing and she leaned on me for support after she hit the neighbor's dogs with the car after it ran into the street (dog lived, but is pretty banged up - didn't know this particular neighbor). She even came into "my" room and watched TV with me for about an hour before bed time. She went back to "her" room to sleep.
While on the porch swing, she started talking about the plants in the yard and what she will have to do with them next summer. She wanted her mom to see one of them and I suggested that she take a picture and E-mail it to her. W said her mom would see it the next time she came to visit. What I wanted to say ****"What? Visit here? Why sould your mom visit here? You won't live here! Are you playing a f-ing head game with me or what?"**** What I did say. "Cool. It was just an idea."
Good things are happening, but still no R talk. Still planning on moving as far as I know.
When I saw her bank paperwork though, I did see that she didn't qualify for as much $$ as she wanted too. This may make it more of a challenge for her as we have a pretty nice house in a nice neighborhood. She would have to live in a questionable place with less than high class neighbors.
She doesn't talk at all to me about moving, but I know she talks to her sis and GF about it.
