SC....My H had been considering it for a couple of months before he mentioned it to me. Then after that it was 5 months before he moved back in.
I feel like its a good time to stop the CS...if we ever get around to it that is Even if we did stop it, and things didnt work out, I could have it started again, with a possibility of getting more from him....we were up for a review anyway, and I know he has gotten several raises since it was started. Wouldnt be good for him at all...but hopefully we are not going there. HE did start having an additional amount going into my checking account starting tomorrow to help with the bills. I actually like him having his own account and me mine....that puts more responsibility on him and I dont stress out about how much he is spending....his problem. Werent like that before, we had a joint checking and I was always fussing I guess, because he would spend and sometimes too much that our account would get messed up.
Thanks Swl and OP....I think I handled the thank yous in a round about sort of way...we'll see how it worked. After dinner the other night my son got up, left his plate and walked into the living room...I said to my son " Son, I would like for you to put your plate in the sink and saying Thank you to mommy would make me feel sooo good that I cooked you a great dinner! And by helping me, it helps mommy not to stay in the kitchen sooo long, so I can spend time with all of you". He said thanks and put his plate in the sink....My H followed him but gave me a kiss on the cheek along with the "thank you that was good".
How'd I do? lol
