Tiger, I’ve just realized that you are in this situation without your own income and even without a car. I’m totally impressed that under these circumstances you are doing quite well. You mentioned that you don’t like your food sometimes because you have no appetite due to stress. I remember these moments last year when I could not eat and lost a lot of weight. I’m got all that weight back now trying to not gain more. You are incredible. I like reading your posts, you have so much insight into your own situation and everybody else’s.
I like Kate’s advice about the job. I cannot imagine being reliant on H myself. Last year, when I had a great job, I felt a lot more confident about myself.
My H said the same about the situation (him leaving) would be better for everyone. Why do they think it is OK to make these kinds of decisions for other people? I guess they do it to justify their behavior.
And about the OW… I smile when I read in the posts that OWs are jealous about the LBSs. Kate had a perfect example with her H. It is just given. My H thinks that we can share the condo (vacation home) between us and he also is planning to have an OW with him there. I think he is up for a major disappointment about his potential “harmonious” relationship with imaginary OW. Because I WILL visit the vacation home, and I think she is not going to like me there, LOL.
I agree with the advice to stop mentioning OW. I know it could be hard, but you can do it.
