Yes, H did threaten to leave before Xmas last year. I persuaded him to postpone til January for the kids sakes.
In summer he said he didn`t know what he was thinking when he`d said he`d move out before Xmas.
The fact that he could leave the kids with a memory like that for all their Chrismasses spurred me to seek legal separation.
Now he`s back at the same trick.
I`m not going to stop him this time. He finds decisions-and accepting responsibility for them-difficult. He needs me to take control and hates that I take control at the same time.
I`m calm around him. I`m not bringing up the topic again-he knows why I stalled on moving forward with the legal separation-I had a little hope for a while-but if he`s decided to go that`s his decision.
Its like dealing with Jekyll and Hyde.He`ll do anything to try to upset me when he`s in this mood.
