Hi, just picked up on your thread and just wanted to comment on a few things if that's ok It seems like you're doing really well with your 180s and GAL. My son also has special needs so I understand when you say that you can't do activities on your own when he's with you. My son is 19 now and I'm hoping to get him some extra activities soon to give me some time on my own. The worst thing about this is not being able to go out with friends at night. H only has my son once a month as he's only got a small flat and he says the couch is too uncomfortable and he doesn't get much sleep. He did talk about getting a sofa bed which will hopefully mean he'll have our son over more Regarding your date with your W. I have told H about activities I've planned with our son and asked him along. He always says "I don't know what I'm doing that day", so I leave it and me and my son go anyway :)I'm not asking him again for the next few times as I don't want to be too pushy. If we've got a busy week, then I normally tell H when we're in so he can come and see our son if he wants to. Again, he never takes me up on this. It seems that he wants to be the one in control at the mo. I'm sure I read somewhere that you shouldn't date if you want to R. Also if your W does file for D then you don't want her to have an excuse to D you. I get anxious about D as well, my H has said he is going to see a solicitor but I've not heard anything yet. Good luck with your 180s and GALing
