Yeah, you are right. I need reminders about keeping the positive changes going, despite my feelings or the things he is doing to hurt me. This is the only place you get that kind of encouragement. My friends and family are annoyed with him because they can see how hard this time is for me.

BF did ask me what I am doing for my Bday which is in 1 week. He wanted to know if I have to work, so it sounds like he is making plans of some sort, which is interesting. We'll see. At least he is thinking about it. I had zero expectations about it and was preparing myself for nothing happening there...so at least I know he didn't forget!!

I think it is good you are standing firm on the moving thing. I don't know everything about his work situation, but it sounds like you are being strong and he will have to make some decisions that are based around his family instead of vice versa. You have been a real inspiration to me for strength. I remember reading in you thread about the time when your H was leaving your house and you just felt different about things, like right when you were ready to detach. I think about that and it helps me know I can do the same. Thank you!

How are your kids doing?
