Here we go again. I have been GAL-ing and going out with friends. For so long in our marriage, my life revolved around my husband and I spent all my time with him at home. He has commented before that when I went out for cocktail hour that he just knew that I was getting checked out and it bothered him a little. He also mentioned to others he thinks I am seeing someone else because I'm always perfectly manicured at all times now as opposed to running out of the house without my hair and makeup done like I used to if it was just a small errand. As you can recall, he came home Saturday declaring that this was his house too and he would stay in it if he wanted to. I went out this evening and without warning walked in the house to see my husband had packed his overnight things and moved out. Surprise to me, but even more of a surprise because of how I felt about it.

I may shock some of you all with this next statement, but I'm a bit relieved. I didn't want him to be home and still not be a part of this marriage. I didn't want to live where I felt he was constantly hostile. Oddly enough as I was driving home tonight and saying a prayer for my husband, he texted me just to let me know that he took out the dogs, but made no mention of the fact he would no longer be living here. He left that gem for me to find out when I got home. He hadn't sent me a text since last week or called really for that matter since he has been in the house. I think that the unannounced move out was to try and make me angry. Well, backfired because I'm totally okay with it. To be honest, it was much harder having him home and being a complete jack ass and also knowing that perhaps he is still with the OW. Out of sight, out of mind I suppose. Any thoughts on this one?
