I gave H a list of expenses and told him that it's getting really serious. H agreed he does not want anything to happen to the house either(like selling or renting out) and that he is going to be more conscious about spending. I know his promises don't mean anything, but if H doesn't want to contribute money,there is not much I can do. My IC suggested that being a little firm about finances with H might wake him up a little bit of his "adult/responsible" part...I hope.
This morning H seemed a little bit friendly/chatty. Kids found a fortune cookie and asked H to open it for them. when H opened it, he asked D3 to bring the little fortune paper strip to me. It says " You are a thoughtful and considerate person" (not sure how this is a fortune-telling!)but I took it as a nice gesture??
H even said a little joke, which I don't really recall him saying for the past 1.5 months and said "I'll see you" with eye contact. I'm not saying any of these are a game changer, but I just needed to find some good things as pick-me-up on this Friday morning...
