Thanks Zues. Today he's being polite. Saying that we can sleep in separate beds at his moms on xmas. Talking about renovations on our house. Asking me if we should make a stream go under a bridge in the front yard. I said no, we should think about re-sale value of improvements. I told him I didn't care what windows he's getting for the two story studio we just put in, just grateful that I don't have to decide and he's taking care of it. He was going to take a longer trip to nyc over xmas because I can't take as much time, he would drive with the kids and I'll fly then he said he could go for the same length even though he told the girls they'd leave as soon as school is out. I don't know why. kids were bickering, I suggested we each take one child and let them have a break from each other. He said he wasn't comfortable with that. I'll try to get a list of my assets in order so I can clearly tell him next week that we need to physically separate. I can't do this roommate thing he's talking about sometimes. It really breaks my heart. Meanwhile, guys I'm not interested in are coming out of the woodwork. It's short amusement but not enough to ease the pain. DH even insisted that I take time to make art this weekend. He never does that... the 180 would be working if not for this dumb philandering thing. How do I make THAT stop? (I don't actually think there's an answer for that.) Good reminder to GAL, appreciations, etc.
