Appreciate the support, it does indeed look ugly right now. Peter, I am paying for IC for my W, but she feels she doesn't need any? Can't push that issue. I like the idea of thinking about it as investing rather than rescuing, but it seems such a fine line as Wonka points out with respect to letting the WAS hit rock bottom.
I think she is truly realizing what life without Dev is like. There were some more heated texts about how she is struggling and living frugally, while I am having an awesome time. Really? She doesn't realize how limbo has become my norm, and just how difficult the last few months have been on me. Of course, she doesn't need to. I feel really good right now. Strong, confident, self aware, and fairly organized. She's insisting on separating our finances, as her first cheque only covered her rent. I think that's what triggered her outburst today.
I listened to her concerns, reiterated them, and then told her WTF did you expect was going to happen? Just kidding, I would never say that, I just STFU and related that I shared her concern, and how I wanted to maintain the kids best interest in everything that is done.
Should be interesting to see what happens from here. Going to be very interesting. For sure.
Thanks everyone for reading. Hopefully someone somewhere is seeing mistakes I make and positively applying them to their stitch.
