It's a UK phrase meaning getting the worse prize possible - divorce!
So, W has decided to cancel coming to the counselling session which was a bit of a bummer when I'd just paid for it. Spewfest came forth when I asked why she had decided to cancel. Some interesting stuff came out though.
First off, she said that she thought I hadn't done enough with the kids. Secondly, she thought I spent too long in the bath. Lastly, she resorted to drastic action because she thought I wouldn't listen to her.
So apart from a re-write of history for most of that, we are finally getting somewhere. W then wondered why I was spending so much time with the kids now and am I only doing that because she's leaving (no, It's just being the only real earner, I have to go to work and I did spend lots of my available time with them).
Still lots of negatives in her spew though and not interested in R. She's livid right now, but I did apologise if I'd said anything hurtful in our exchange (that went down like a lead balloon). Of course she's on the phone to SIL straight away. I've come out of the way. W also said she was talking to Council here about housing as well.
Progress of sorts.
