So lastnight my husband finally initiated "the talk", this is how it played out..
H: I think it's time to start that talk from earlier. M: Mmm Hmmm? (looking at him to continue) Silence. Still nothing. M: We don't have to talk right now. H: I think we should. M: Ok. More silence. M: I know you still don't know what to do. H: Uh huh H: Why did you come down and say you wanted to separate? M: I don't know. I thought you needed space and time. I didn't mean it. H: (with weird look on his face) :ohh H: I wish I had the answer to what to do. M: I know. M: We don't have to decide anything. H: ok... H: How are you doing? M: Fine. I am just focusing on the kids and doing things for myself. H: That's good. (looks genuine) M: How are you doing? H: Not horrible, not great. M: laughing, "so mediocre" H: laughing, "yes". H: How have your walks been going? Are you thinking about things? M: No, not really. Just getting some 'me' time. H: Have you called your old work back yet? (to see about going back) M: No, I just want to make sure what I do makes the most financial sense at the time. H: That is awefully vague. M: I know. H: That is a broad statement. M: I don't know if I should be speaking to a lawyer. I don't know if I will be living here and if the children will be going to the same school. Do you know what I mean. H: Yes.
Then we go on to talk about a few details if we were to separate.
M: We can cross that bridge if we come to it.
[end of conversation]
Looks like we are not deciding anything and just keep going as we are?? Oh boy....
Looks like I still have some time to keep up the DB'ing.
