Is There Anything Left...pt 3

[Not Quitting]

Hmmm, it's a shame that you can't tell him that if he really wants it to work again then you can both get your own place (or can you not leave your dad on his own

I’d be in my own place in a heartbeat if I had the money each month for rent or mortgage. Getting into my own place again is the second two major goals I’ve set myself – the first being getting a better paying job, which I need in order to be able to achieve the getting my own place goal. Dad’s health isn’t bad enough for me to worry about letting him live on his own, as long as one of the sisters (including me) lived close enough to be able to get to him reasonably quickly if needed.

I don't blame you for not believing him, but then if he was lying why would he say something like that? When H said to me that he doesn't want to live in a one bedroomed flat all his life, two thoughts crossed my mind - 1. He shouldn't have left in the first place and 2. He can always move in with OW!

It’s not that I don’t believe him, because I really want to, but it’s not the first time he’s said some of those things, maybe worded differently. It’s also the contradictions – his FB profile picture is one of him and OW, he said earlier in the evening he’s at her place over the weekend, etc, etc. I’ll give him one bonus point in that she called during our convo (he didn’t turn his phone away far enough for me not to see the caller ID on the screen) and he declined the call and turned his phone off. That’s another rarity for him when it comes to calls or texts from her.

Everyone on here seems to be moving forwards with their spouses apart from me it seems! Well that's how it feels anyway! Sorry I'm on a bit of a downer today.

Your day will come TTD! Hang in there. We all have our down days.
