Met with h today to discuss finances. He still seems generous as far as money (I have been SAHM for 12 years) and he shared log in info for our accounts. We discussed each using a separate credit card for spending as a way to track it and set a budget. Later I called him and asked if it would just be easier to take the income, subtract out set expenses (mortgage, rent, utilities etc) then sit what's left. I suggested a 60 40 split in my favor since I still have the girls more of the time and his company pays for a lot of his dinning and entertainment. He agreed
He also suggested that he spend Christmas with us. I asked what he meant. He asked our plans. I said mass Christmas Eve then dinner and celebrating (which includes opening gifts) with my family. He said he would like to be a part of all of it and stay at our house on Christmas Eve. I told him I would think about it. He gotta little annoyed and said "we'll what else am I going to do?). I said again I would think about it, that I liked the idea of giving the girls one more "normal" Christmas but worried if that sent them a mixed message. So I'm looking for opinions on how to handle Christmas - I know my family will be very uncomfortable having him there. We talked some about the girls and how they are handling it but nothing very different or interesting. He did apologize for "hurting me" and not handling this well. I asked if there was more he wanted to talk about but he said no, he's already told me how he feels.
