Thank you Wonka, Starsky, Sandi, Dawn, Toots, T0324. You guys basically ran to my rescue yesterday and today.
I was treated to some more spew last night; I was amazed at my ability to not lose my s***, but I kept it calm. She came down off the anger train last night. This morning though, she was right back on it. That's when I knew.
It's done. I told her it was time; this situation is no longer working and we need to get out of each other's hair. I said three months to start, since that's the shortest apartment lease I can realistically get. Thank goodness I live in a college town, the landlords are a little more flexible around here. I agree that in this case I need to be the one to move out. I want the girls to be with their mom, and that'll be less disruptive to their lives.
I didn't explicitly mention dating; My only expectation is that we still go to MC; otherwise we live our own lives.
That shut off the spew. She's still very much in "poor me" mode, but it feels like the tension has unwound a bit. I think she's secretly relieved. To tell the truth, so am I.
We're going to sleep on it this weekend, tell the MC on Monday, and then start planning out the logistics. I'm going to watch and wait this weekend and see if anything sinks in for her.
