So, managed not to send an email, but did rather wallow in self pity for most of the day. I did need to speak to him about some house maintenance and thinking about it, I did a 180. He would have expected me to ask or let him do it in the past but instead I asked where the correct equipment was so that I could do it. Maybe deep down I am disappointed that he didn't put up an objection and offer to come and do it, but it has made me determined to sort these jobs out myself.
Gave myself a good talking to and spent a couple of hours sorting out a very messy garage so that I was familiar with what we had for DIY purposes and then spent the evening researching how to do some jobs. I'm going to start with some simple decorating jobs.
Not strictly GAL but it'll keep me busy and I will enjoy the results. House has been rather neglected for a couple of years because he's been otherwise occupied and whilst the house will be sold, it'll make me proud of myself if I can do this. For too long he's been the DIY Nazi and had to do it all himself. No doubt, my efforts will be sub standard compared to his and it'll be pointed out, but I intend to be duck like and let the water run off.
