If he really is as dense as he makes out to be he doesn't deserve someone like you.
He is emotionally dense, which was hard for me to grasp because he is really quite brilliant in many other ways.

That sure was not the marriage I signed up for - nor the vision he relayed to me when trying to convince me to marry him. It's the old bait and switch.

As far as the trip to Europe goes... been there, done that. Just old dirty cities falling apart with too much traffic. Walking around and waiting for an old fart to catch up wouldn't have been much fun.
If he were treating me well, that he is an 'old fart' who can't walk too far or fast, wouldn't matter to me. We used to have a lot of fun together. I knew I was marrying a man much older than me and was prepared to accept what might come with it. I am very loyal to those who are loyal to me.

I wonder . . . It has occured to me that he might be relieved, even happy, and that his actions are a passive-aggressive way of getting me to leave him.

LOL. One of my first thoughts was telling him I lit a candle for him too - underneath the voodoo doll I made of him.

Oh, and please DON'T clean the house before you leave.
So I guess you would say I shouldn't leave a nice cassarole for him to pop in the oven either huh?

I agree with you Down, and I doubt anyone was serious. It's theraputic to release a bit of anger by bandying about fun revenge scenarios. It doesn't mean I, or anyone else, is serious about it. Breakaway does not condone arson!
