Wondering how this is going to go. I'll find out next Friday.

I agreed to conference call counseling with H. First appointment is next Friday.

It will be interesting to say the least.

Will the counselor be unbiased to the situation? Or will she lean towards my charming, but dickheaded H because he's there and I'm here. Will she look at this as him abandoning his family OR will she see it as me being stubborn for staying back?

Mutual friend called H

I found out a good friend of ours, who is aware of our situation, called H. Flat out asked him what he was going to do about this situation.

H couldn't respond.

Friend said again, you know what the problem is. You know you're making decisions as though you're single and not married. You know you're treating Shaman with complete disrespect as your wife. What is worse, you're discussing your finances with your daughter first and then telling Shaman how it's going to be. Am I wrong.

H was silent for a long time, then finally said no.

Had some time to turn things over in my Mind Palace (for your Sherlock lovers)

My life has taken a twist in the last few months. Not completely sure how I’m feeling about the ways things have turned out. This is a bit long but it’s the first time I’ve tried to organize my thoughts in the last month.

I met H about 7 years ago. We started dating. Got along well. I was attracted to his intelligence, how he cared about his family (not just the skid, but his mother and extended family), sense of humor and how grounded he was (or I thought he was). I was also attracted to him physically as well.

Am I asking for too much??

DH is currently unemployed (company closed the branch he worked at, all employees were laid off). He has been actively searching for work. Right now he has a job offer on the table, but he is negotiating and working out the kinks. That is taking some time because of the holiday.

However, he is at home most of the day. His greatest accomplishments? Watching every episode of Breaking Bad. Oh and going to the gym and making green juice and doing the dishes.

Awesome. Just awesome.

None of this would bother me except:
