Have you started making plans for the holidays?


I think he will give me notice before he returns. How much notice, I don't know. I want to be gone when he gets back. I can't imagine being in the same house with him right now. I'm not too keen on even having him on the same continent.

His return date could have some bearing on my holiday plans as well. I want to visit some of my family. They don't live close, but are within a long day's drive.

I think his return may be fast approaching, possibly within the week, probably not later than right after Christmas. I'm feeling nervous.

So, the question is . . . . when and how to tell him that I am moving out? I don't know if he will be happy or what. Although the dramatic impact of not telling him and letting him find out when he comes in the house has a certain appeal, I don't think that is a good idea. Now more than ever, I really want a 'friendly' separation/divorce, especially because I really need his financial help right now.

He had offered to help me with my dental bills previously, I didn't know exactly how much that would cost though. I found out it adds up to the equivilent of the sticker price of a new economy car. eek I don't have that much cash and would be hard pressed to come up with that amount in the near future. He, on the other hand, can well afford it. Am I just dreaming that he might still want to help?

I would appreciate input about when and how to talk with him about this. Because I read Gnosis's excellent post, I know NOT to say "We need to talk."
