Working on a Trial Separation Agreement with MLC H

[ccgrrl]

Thanks, Rose888.
You're right. I do have a choice, and I am looking for different choices than what I have.

I don't want to be someone who isn't flexible, especially if it is in the best interest of my children. But I also feel like enough is enough, so you're right, it probably would breed more resentment.

He is moving out tomorrow night and I feel much more comfortable with that now, in fact, I feel like I just want him to get the heck out of our house before I strangle him. (just kidding of course). He's like a child when it comes to keeping track of schedules, money, anything like that and I know he never really developed those skills because he's been with me since he was 19 and I took care of all of that.

I don't want to take care of him now that he has emphatically declared he doesn't want to be in a relationship with me beyond co-parenting. But part of me knows he won't be able to just do this on his own. I'm trying not to get sucked back into being his caretaker now that there is no committed relationship.

I know I need to cut the rope and let him sink or swim. I just feel angry that I am in this situation and that if he sinks, because we're not divorced, he will drag me down, too.
