Hi Julie, Just wanted to say that my W lived at home for a year post B-day. All it did was make things harder. Every time she was nice I would see some hope but then she would just do another awful thing. So, even when things weren't "horrible" they were because I knew the other show was about to drop! The rest of the she was acting like every MLCer....you know what that's like!
He needs to go. He also needs to think it was his idea TO go! About 6 months in from B-day I told her enough was enough and asked her to go. Of course, she said no! I really think if I could have convinced her that I WANTED her to leave, she would have stayed! The trick is making it so they want to leave but still think it's their idea. I'm sure you can think of ways to make it harder for him to stay then go. Maybe at this point it's time for you to start doing just that.
