Second MLC?? Is that possible?

[2Times2Many]

Well, last night he found my lock box that I had hidden away with stuff I didn't want to disappear from around here. I'm not sure if he was angry or just hurt, but he was clearly agitated. At least he managed to not blow a gasket.

He did, however, push the right buttons and I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I told him that getting a divorce, remaining friends and being business partners was something I can't do. He tried to reason with me, but I didn't back down from that. He went to bed mad.

This morning he told me that we would talk and that changes would be made. I have no idea where he wants to go with that one. He gave me a long hug (which I didn't accept to enthusiastically) and told me he did care about me.

I can't seem to make him shake this idea that I will run his business over here while he's living another life overseas. Every time I tell him that I don't want to run his business here, he starts trying to lay a guilt trip on me. I think that is his biggest fear that I will walk away from the business and he needs me there.

If we go the big D route, I definitely don't want to run his business and be his partner. He can't afford to buy me out, so I don't know how to handle it. (He will have to hire two people to replace me - for finances and web work).

I will be spending Christmas with my sister. We haven't done that in years, so it will be good to get together for the holiday.

Not sure about New Year's. I haven't thought that far ahead.
