Hi EE,
Just catching up after starting to emerge from the fog [:o].
Well done on your decision, it's been a long time coming. Hope WS sorts out somewhere else to live very soon then you can move on to the next step.

Morning EE
I really hope that he finds a place sooner rather than later... then you will be able to move on with your life. I can't imagine how it must be, having made the decision and still being in the same house together. You both need some time and space to grieve, and there will be good days and bad.
Lots of love to you xxxNot giving up

Thanks again for all your comments.
I am away today for the weekend for a girls holiday - can't wait, a chance to let my hair down a bit.
Things are ok at home, WS swings between talking about renting somewhere else and planning for the future and telling me that him private renting is a waste of money and how can we ever save.
I told him that 'we' don't need to save, if I want to save then that is my business, same as him saving is his business - we are no longer saving for something together.
He then decides I should subsidise him moving out as he wont be able to afford things - I told him he will have to learn to live within a budget for a change and not expect me to subsidise his lifestyle choices.
He is due a payrise in September so I suggested that when he is earning more than me (currently we earn the same) then perhaps he can subsidise me???
The end of this month can't come soon enough.0 -
