He still wants to come spend time with me, like today he wants to go on a "date." To be honest, I am not really in the mood. I see what you mean, where its like we are kept here for our support and ability to keep the family and house going. Sometimes I do get frustrated and want to run, but I have no where to go, and we can't afford two places to live and I am really am just stuck here waiting for him to divorce me, which he won't, or for me to walk away and lose everything I have invested over the years. Its weird, because I feel like if I walk away, he wins-- he would get the house because I would be tired of fighting, he would get the dogs, and he would just move her in, in my place. So they would win, and I would lose.
Wow. That's an AWFUL lot of assumptions. How do you know all this? Have you consulted with a GOOD family law attorney yet?
