Deb-

Had to laugh at the image of me following you around your yard and smacking you up-side the head! .....But if it's what you need....then sure, I'll do it. Send a plane!

I like that you are thinking more about things being your h's responsibility. He has to OWN it before he can come to terms with it. Can you improve as a partner? Sure! We all can. Continue working on yourself in terms of what makes Deb a better person not in terms of what will solve all her husband's problems. Lead by example.

You are right, I truly do not think that your h had any intention of leaving. I think he just wanted to spread his misery around for all to share! I think he knows what a great thing he has at home. I think he knows that you are a special person and that he could never, never find another like you.

Thanks for telling me about the C situation. I thought this was the case but wasn't sure. I do think that the 60 mile trip would be worth the trouble. Maybe just go every two weeks?

As far as the credit card, ugh, I have to be honest and tell you that if I did not get a pair of LL bean boots, steaming the damn thing is exactly what I would do! (lol...actually, I would open it right in front of him!) But still, that would not solve anything, would it? Could be a gift for his mom or a gift for you for later on. Better probably to wipe it out of your mind and stop looking at what he is carrying into the office!

You are cheerful and happy because that is how you choose to live. SHE has made a fool of herself. Anyone can see that.

Hope you are feeling better-
