S_C, I do have hope - sometimes I wonder if I have too much hope. H has said he wants a divorce, but has said several times the door to the R isn't completely closed. He's seen two different lawyers, but he hasn't filed. He's told me several times that he will let me know before he files.

Money has really become an issue since he moved out. He is living in one of our rentals, so no income from that unit. Over a month ago, I volunteered to live in the apartment we have above a detached garage, and let him move back into the house to save money. He didn't respond, other than asking me why. I mentioned that we needed to put money aside for D wedding in 7 months. No response.

Last week D and I were discussing the wedding budget. She knows I've set aside money from a small job this fall. She asked H later if he was planning to contribute. Then H texts me to ask how 'we' are going to pay for the wedding. We???? I gave him a solution last month. I get so frustrated sometimes.
