Small update on this soap opera of a life

[Serena]

I got a bank account yesterday. I put in some money that was supposed to go to the vet in it. I used the cc at the vet.

I need to call the lawyer back, but I have left a voice mail message.

My dad knows what's going on now. I left his number for the lawyer to call.

My dh has been home for three days now. He says he's still thinking and giving me time to get used to the idea.
I'm using the time to get my affairs in order. I haven't told him yet that I don't want to be married to him anymore, even if he were to reconsider.
I figure the less he knows right now the better. So, we haven't said much to each other. It is pretty peaceful here these days.

I don't know if I've said that I'm buying all the clothes they need, and making doctor and dental appointments. I want them done and paid for before anything happens.

I'm going to ask that all debts be paid off and the house repairs done as part of the divorce. There is alot that could have been done by now if he cared to do it.

I'm going to add up all my expenses from the last year and ask for enough to live off of and all debts paid for. I could pretty easily manage with what he already gives me, if the debts were paid off.

I still love him, but I don't want to live with him anymore. I don't think I will ever get over this, and I'm remembering all the hurt moments of the past too. I don't want to hurt anymore and I don't want him to hurt either. I hope he finds what he needs, I know it's not me.

Thanks for the update.
Hang in there.

 

[binny]

You are so strong! Im so proud of you for taking care of business and making sure everything is in order. Im not sure I could have done it that way. Im more of a " Leave and deal with consequences later" type of person.
Youre doing a great job!

Prayers and (((hugs))) for you.

Yes, you are smart to get your life in order first. Making lists and adding totals are best done while not in crisis mode.

Take advantage of every minute of peace that you have.

How are the girls doing?

 

[Dream]

Good for you! Sounds like your head is on straight and you are moving your life in the direction YOU want it to go! If you are anything like me, keeping busy handling "the details" will keep you sane and grounded. We are here for you!!

 

[gemmie214]

You sound more peaceful now. Good for you! It looks like you are taking all the right steps but I do have to add that I would rather see you happy than him. I will keep you and the girls in my thoughts and prayers.
