Yes, getting away from him is a challenge as I still live with him and work with him. But that's also a blessing too, I guess. It's weird, even though I'm very hurt about where he's going this weekend, I'm thankful for the "time off."

I think he's softening a bit. I know he's hurting like FOBD says. He's taking xanax and drinking a lot. He's lost a ton of weight in a short period. I know that he's hurting. But I don't know why? I think he doesn't want to hurt me.

Thanks so much for the comments!! I guess I do need to think more about strategy.
