So to add to this story, last night, to my surprise, H was there when I went to pick up S. He was kind of giving me the cold shoulder when I arrived and said something to the effect of "I can't believe you made plans on my only night off". I said something about him having Weds off too but then it kind of just dropped. Really, I could have said alot more thinking back now. Does he honestly expect me to wait around just IN CASE he wants to hang out with me? He's living in a dream world then! How many of his nights off has he chosen NOT to hang out with me - MOST OF THEM! I could have said most of this to him, but I didn't think about it all until afterwards. When I left, H was still all grouchy and didn't even try to hug or kiss me good bye. It's annoying that he was getting all upset with me but I'm glad too that he got a chance to see that I'm living my own life and that my world does not revolve around only him. So I still don't know what that all means for us & if this pushed us closer or further apart, but I'm glad it maybe popped his bubble a little. In exchange though, I had a great dinner with my girl friend. S was really well behaved and we had a great time eating pizza and catching up. Definitely a good break from life! =)
This weekend should be busy. Tomorrow is my dad's b-day so we're going to go out to dinner tomorrow night and then I'm going to start prepping the walls in S's room so I can paint next weekend. I'm really excited about how it's going to turn out and I think S will love it too! =)
My long term goal is to start saving enough for a down payment on a house/condo, so that in approx 3 years, S and I can move out to our own place. Awest - since you're in a similar sitch where you were saving money and H wad spent everything, did your L say anything about H being about to come after your savings? Technically, I suppose they are still entitled to 50% of it, correct? This is my only concern about saving. I don't want to work hard saving while H is spending every dime on going out, tattoos, etc, and then D and have him be able to take 1/2 of it. So just curious what your experience was so far on this.
