So to shake things up a little, I decided that since the temporary agreement is that he has the kids Tue-Thu nights, I'll go out and let him stay home with them. We need to get used to this anyway. It's tough, because I hate the thought of not putting my babies to bed, but this is the way it's going to be. I have to be careful not to let myself get complacent staying here. I don't want to push H too far, but it seems like he's got his cake right now. Perhaps he'll realize what life will really be like. He can be responsible for them in the mornings too! If this is what he wants, he can have it! Does anybody have any hints or suggestions? Will this be pushing him too much? Should I sit back silently and wait for him to initiate the temporary orders? We now have our final hearing scheduled for Dec. 6. He was supposed to call our local realtor about a house for rent for me, it was in our agreement. H never did. I'm supposed to be out by Nov 1. Having searched high and low, I don't see how I can do that. H's own lawyer suggested trying to get along to stay in the same house. So what's the general feeling out there? Should I encourage trying to stick to the agreement as much as possible or should I wait for him? Just to clue you in, every time we have a nasty fight, the D gets bumped along. I have pulled myself back from fighting. I haven't heard the I can't wait until you leave crap for awhile. WTF? He is so damn confusing! Please help me people!
