UPDATE:

I've been away, again, for a few days. My job and kids' schedules have kept me busy....which is a good thing.

Things have been fairly quiet on the M front...except for last Saturday.

We drove to S15's playoff game, three hours away, and passed through OW's hometown on the way. I didn't comment on the way there, but on the way home, I did make a catty remark about how I wish that town, and everyone in it, would fall off a cliff.

That is all I said...but it completely set H off!!! I didn't know it right then that H was mad, but later that evening, when H left with S12 to go hunting at H's parents', he started texting me.

He'd had no sleep in over 24 hours and was super tired...and spewing like crazy!

He called me a "lying, backstabbing B*tch" 2-3 times. He hung up on me when I called to ask him a question about our daughter. He totally lost it over my remark!!! His response was way over the top for what I said.

And, of course, I was kicking myself for not STFU. It goes against everything in me to NOT make catty remarks about OW...but I'd been doing so good...and that one, little remark, made us backslide so much.

H texted that we were "done"...that he is filing after Christmas because I'm not "moving forward" and on and on.

His last text Saturday said he was "starting over with a new, better life without me, on Sunday"...

I ignored him all day Sunday...and have just left him alone all week. I only text back when necessary. I've stayed late at my job to avoid going home to him.

I've seem him for maybe 10 minutes since Saturday evening...on purpose.

On a weird MLC note, though...I noticed yesterday that he's moved one bag back home...and his bathroom stuff is back home....toothbrush, razors, etc.

He is being extremely civil, etc. so I'm just doing my thing and trying to not think about how hateful he was Saturday.

My birthday is on Christmas Day...and I just have NO holiday or birthday spirit whatsoever.

Thank goodness for my kids....they keep me focused on the good things in my life!
