LL...I think your H DOES believe he holds the winning deck...he makes the money (for now! )...he does what he wants...he expects you to "play wife" (Please tell me you DIDN'T make them a snack!!! )... no I didn't make them a snack (I did however bring some cookies to bil told him he could share them if he wanted...he didn't want to so to h) I left @ 2 when h got home to go return some stuff at the mall..left him alone with the kids...he made dinner for them (and not just pb&j) and if I hadn't come home he would have gotten them to bed...I guess bil is here for the night watching football with h...there are games on tommorow too so I assume that's why he's staying...good then h will have no choice but to hang with the kids while I go to mass tommorow wouldn't want to look like a shmuck infront of his bro now would he?!
LL, I don't think you are in any way ready to call and have the cops remove your H! But detaching, getting out, letting him fend for himself more... would setting up the spare bedroom for myself be ok? just thinking about it...not saying I'd actually move in there but it would be nice to have MY space.
If he doesn't start to wonder if his "hand" is as good as he thinks...well then he's a REAL fool, isn't he? And YOU will be in a much better position to move on without him. hmmmmm ya know what....he is a real fool but I must be a bigger fool cause I put up with it...so in all actuality he's pretty freakin smart!
Just my thoughts.
Shiny always welcome!
