It`s been a really busy week work wise and with the kids. But I had a great evening yesterday and came home buzzing. Just got the feeling H didn`t like that and, as soon as I had a moment to myself, he came up to my room and said we had to talk.

I was about to prep some more stuff for work today so it wasn`t a good time for me. I told him that and he accepted it and went away.

Now I know he`ll be back about it-unless I bring it up of course. And I know it`s about him moving out.

Not about Xmas preparations or the dishwasher that needs replacing or about how the kids are doing in school. All about him.

Yes, I know I`ll listen, I`ll let him know I`m listening. I`ll stay calm no matter what he says. I`ll praise him where appropriate.

But I will make it very clear that leaving our home is his decision to make. That the offer for MC is on the table if he wants that.

No pleading, begging.

I`m just really puzzled that a guy who claims to have made so many changes over the last few months for me and the kids is now ready to abandon ship just when I begin to take a second look.

2 by 4s welcomed, a cure for my possible blindness very acceptable and any other suggestions and advice will be gratefully received.
