Oh my can I ever relate to the car issue!! I had a gorgeous Escalade...we drove that puppy all over the country. I had a midlife crisis and traded it in for a (sit down folks) baby blue convertible vw...yuppers...I had always wanted one growing up...one day I was driving down the street...oh Dave was sooo furious...I didn't consult with him first, big mistake...big mistake...I usually wasn't like that...we always made decisions together...but something inside me went nuts when I saw that car. Well I had it for 2yrs. 2yrs of him making constant fun of it...called it the turd mobile. Finally in June, I decided enough is enough. He was right, it was totally not practical...put all the wear and tear on his car because he would never be seen in it...and poof 3 wks after getting the Explorer...he's gone...but I am much happier in this car, sans the increase in payment by almost 200 a month!! ARGH!!!
My heart goes to you for the drinking issue so much Heather...as you know Dave is a drinker...used to be a big drinker, cut it down while we were together and now...the depression/drinking/depression...what a vicious circle it is...but strangely enough he mentioned something about getting tired of it all...hope that's a good sign!!
Keep your head up high...my warmest thoughts for a lovely Thanksgiving.
Why do you think he puts the pressure on you for the state of your R?
