Well I had a long response typed out but it just got erased. I moved out yesterday and relocated 6 hoyurs away from husband to my parents' house. It was a really emotional move but my dream of having husband say "No, don't go, I don't want this" didn't happen...lol (a girl can dream right?). Husband did say that he didn't feel good about me moving and that he couldn't believe that I was actually leaving him. I told him you left me emotionally long before me leaving you physically. Also told him I had no choice after he walked out on Sunday and I didn't hear or see him until Tuesday. He said that I should have known that he was coming back and that I should know that he wouldn't leave me or son like that. WE hugged a few times told each other we love one another but I also said that I need this time away from him based on the things he has said to me. When I told him he didn't say I love you for an entire year he couldn't believe it. He apologized and kept saying it over and over throughout the day. Then he asked me to at least stay another week or at least another night. I did't see the purpose besides giving him more time with son. If husband would have said don't leave, stay for good we will work on things I would have stayed. Also, one thing that happened yesterday while packing and moving is that husband started to read some of the cards/letters I had given him through our dating years and marriage. He actually started to smile reading them and remembered the love that was there. For so long this past year all he has focused on was what i didn't do while dating and being married. He also actually wanted to keep some of our engagement photos whereas before he didn't even want them hung up in the house. And he kept a scrapbook that I made for him during our first Christmas married that I was about to throw away because he never looked at it and didn't seem to appreciate when I first gave it to him. He took it out of the trash bag and said he was going to keep it. I don't know if he was just being sentimental yesterday but I will look at it as a positive sign.

I don't know if I made the right decision but I do know that husband needs to deal with his own issues before he can fully commit to our marriage. I need to deal with my issues/co-dependency before I can move forward in a healthy marriage/relationship. I am suppose to see husband this weekend at his mom's 50th bday celebration. Should I still go?

I would still like to DB in hopes of saving my marriage with expectations set that husband would have to meet in order for me to still want the marriage. Any advice on what to do from here besides GAL. I am joining a gym down here today and looking for daycare for son during this week. Other than that I will spend time unpacking and working. Oh, and my best friend had a baby last night so I will definitely be visiting her and baby. My plan was going almost dark with husband besides finances and child issues however, that plan got diverted today because i had to ask husband to type up some work notes for me from a notebook that I left at home. After that though i have no reason to call him actually.
