Pretty good day yesterday. Very limited contact with H, and it was him calling/texting me. It was only about the kids. But it was nice not caring for once wether he contacted me or not.

I'm going to visit with my kids tongiht, so I will see him for a few minutes. I plan on telling him about my suggestion to share the house on a weekly basis. I'll let you know what he says.

Hmmm... I don't know if you want to put it as a "suggestion".. it makes it sound like you are just putting the decision in HIS lap... not sure how to handle this, but I would put it as a "need" or something... I really don't like the subservient tone of "suggestion"... makes you sound like you are beneath him or something... just sounds in some way humbling and giving him full control over the resolution, I dunno...

Allen I agree. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how I should approach him or wording of the idea.

mb, the concept is called birdnesting, leaving the kids in the "nest". It provides a more stable environment for the kids. A good thing if you can do it.

He may not go for it if he realizes how much it will take him away from OW.

Well, why do you have to do it at all?

Your mother is involved here, so why not ask HER to handle it?

She can just tell him that its better for the children and if he challenges it at all then he's being selfish... period.

I don't know why you want to handle this yourself.. I would let someone else try... its less stressful for you that way.

I will try to get some help from family to approach him on this. However, I think I'm ok doing it alone if I have too. I'm still working on myself, but I'm a lot stronger than I was a few weeks ago. If he doesn't agree to it, then it's his loss and does mean he is being very selfish. If that is the case, then I will work on getting my own place to start rebuilding my life for me and my kids.
