In house separation?

[mdu]

Thx, labug! Such great advice! I was wondering how to handle things. I knew I should let him talk first but I really like your suggestion to tell him that "I need to think about that for a while" if something unexpected comes up. I'm also thinking maybe I should request this be a phone conversation rather than in person. Specifically so I can easily exit if I need to. Any thoughts on that?

Also, great reminders to REALLY listen and absorb what he's saying. I think knowing these strategies will make me more relaxed if this convo comes up so thanks so much again.

I'm also continuing to remind myself to be patient! I keep wanting/expecting him to call me any day now and say he wants to make a time to talk about in house separation. I'm trying to remind myself to SLOW down because really, I need this time away too to work on myself and get my head screwed on straight! No rush!!!

This is one of my first kid free weekends where I don’t have tons of GAL plans. This maybe a mistake, we’ll see how it goes. I do have some plans and hopefully that’s enough to keep me sane. But I was curious to see how I can do with a good amount of time by myself. I have been saying forever that I wish I had time to myself to get various things done around the house. So that’s one of my goals this weekend, if I can tolerate the aloneness.
