Wow. Ok, 2 weeks to prepare... you can do this!!!! smile

How?... I'll let the more experienced ones give you good advice. I have some ideas though:

- You have to GAL even more.
- Have back up plans, places to go, people to see if you need to get out of the house.
- If you feel yourself getting upset, smile, say you have plans and leave.
- Do more 180's.
- Have boundaries. Separate bedrooms, separate meals, etc.
- Treat him like a roommate.
- Keep a bill ledger, post it on the fridge of who paid what, when, how much.
- Buy some books, join Netflix.... have some things that you can turn to immediately to "escape" if you need to inside the house.
- Actively work on the house, work towards the goal of selling it.
- Act "as if" you've moved on, are carefree, happy.
- Look good but don't over do it (ie put on makeup to paint the house).
- Start working out if you're not already
- Don't ask him about his day, ask for his help around the house, etc. He's a roommate.

I'm sure others will have more ideas or correct any of mine if they are bad. Post here when you need to vent, cry, etc. You can do it!
