    You are completely right in what your saying, he tells me he is willing to change/compromise on everything now - I'm just not sure if it's too little too late.

    I just reread my post, and I sound really down on stuff. I'm not saying that he won't change/agree to things, just that you need to be sure you're satisfied with any agreements/compromises you come to? :)

    Hi Woo
    been thinking about you I know what your going through I gave in so many times 'cos you just want to go home' but it has to be a home that you have a right to stay in then the worry goes away its not about money its security you need I hit 40 and could not bear it any longer hpoe it works out for you
  • Hi Woo

    I have no idea which way you should turn as would only know if I was in that situ - but I know you will come a decision when you are ready. The advice on here's fab and I hope you're taking support and comfort from it. Try to keep a focus on something while you go through it - maybe the debt busting is the best to keep mind occupied - and you will come out the other side.

    We had an awful year last year - it was the worst time of our lives - different reasons to you but we thought we would never ever get through it and we did. We're stronger for it and never been happier.

    Thanks DF, I need to be brave - I'm a Leo but that attribute apparently bypassed me!

    I totally concur with what jules said.

    When the chips are down we can all promise to change but that cant be an empty promise, he must prove he will and can compromise or you risk ending up in the same boat a few years down the line x

    Hey Woo!

    Having been thru a divorce and now very happy with Mr Reddie, what I learned was that I needed to know what I would put up with and what I couldn't compromise on...............noone is perfect, but some things are just not acceptable. The problem arises trying to work out what really isn't 'good enough'.

    Only you know what is best for you and its very hard to work that out sometimes.

    But, we are hear and you are already BRAVE, proven by the fact that you are trying to deal with this........................

    Lots of hugs to you honey xx

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
