W moving this weekend..next leg of my journey

[workinghardguy]

Hoping things are going well for you IS... I think 25 is right... ok I hope she is right. I am looking down the same road you just walked. One of the few things keeping me going is that life will get easier.

I look at the stacks of laundry and want to do them but don't because my W has made it clear she wants to do it (then do it already!). Soon... that goes away.

I have a house that is mine and already set up. She'll be the one having to buy spices, groceries, furniture, etc...

I don't have to deal with the "getting off to school dance" five out of 10 days. Because she has SS and SD, she never gets a day off from that unless I choose to have SS and SD for a sleepover. Though this is a mixed bag... I'll miss it those five days too.

Seven out of 14 days I get my mornings to myself. W will get two mornings to herself out of 14 days, again, because she has SS and SD almost full time.

I'll have a lot more disposable income.

I don't have to brace myself for what the morning will bring... or whether she comes home from work angry... or whether something I say or do (or don't do) sets her off.

There are positives... just have to look for them.
