Thunderclouds gather in the distance

Opt - I guess I didn't remember that your independence was an issue with your H - sorry.

But I think a day trip or outing with your D is in order for both of you. If it is normal procedure in your home as it is ours, just leave a note saying where you went and when you'll be back, in case he arrives while you are gone.

But the distraction would probably be good for both of you, especially with the deadline approaching.

If he isn't home by Sunday night, I think you are right in calling or visiting his workplace, or, if you feel the need - calling the OW.

At that point you are making sure he is physically safe. Your D needs that assurance even if your H doesn't understand that. She needs to hear his voice.

Man, I don't know how you are doing it. I am just going with the flow, but on a pretty calm stretch of water - you on the other hand, are in pretty turbulent waters. And your H is acting like "Man overboard!"

I am proud of you. The week has almost passed and you are still going strong. I am sure this has tested you to no end, but you have almost passed this one too!
