I so hear you that this is a death by a thousand cuts. I feel exactly the same way. Sometimes it feels as if the cuts are healing and then something happens and I start bleeding again. Over time I am hoping there is less blood and it is quicker to heal back up. I also can relate to the book buying observation. My H has always bought books but it is the other things he relied on me for 100% that he is now doing on his own. Wow...like you couldn't have taken on some of those things before? Do you think maybe it might have helped me a bit. H is going to have the kids for five days in a row. For the first couple days, they will be sleeping at home and I will be doing the morning routine with them but Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they are all his.

I probably shouldn't have but when we talked about the division of the kids, I told him that I had had my children so I could be a full-time parent and that he had robbed me of that because every time they are with him, they are not with me. And I also told him that he had robbed our children of that too. I know that is not DBing but it was on my mind. I also commented that it seems like he is doing really well where he is right now. He just laughed as if to say "yeah, right...not so much".

I would definitely teach you how to play pool FS. I would love a painting lesson too. Hey...I mentioned it on Kiwi's thread but I have decided, as one of my GAL activities, that I am going to learn how to play the guitar. I've always wanted to learn but my H plays and I've always thought of that as "his" thing. Not anymore. It's going to be my thing too. laugh
