That really hits home for me cat. I've really not manned up to tell her NO enough about this entire situation. She wants her cake and eat it too. She is the type who must control her situation.
Now that she is in the house, she doesn't have to deal with any realities of her future. She is taken care of financally and I am doing most/all of the house chores and 75% of taking care of the kids.
I emailed her this morning to tell her that I want to talk about some things tonight. As soon as I did, shes calling me, asking what I'm thinking. She said it's not fair to leave her hanging all day - but this is EXACTLY what she did when she dropped the bomb on me.
I guess for me, the detachment is hard because she is so hot/cold around me at home. I can detach and GAL, but not sure if I should give the cold shoulder to her, or just speak to her in a "friendship" type manner.
Thanks for your reply, and I am praying for your sitch too.
