I also agree with Jazz. stbxah would never leave the house so I took the kids and went to a hotel for a week. At that point I knew I was done and was filing for divorce. So when the temp. hearing was held I got the house so the kids could go back home. stbxah got to be there from 9-5 everyday (because he is self-employed-if you want to call getting stoned all day employed).
That conversation--as I read his responses I thought-sounds just like someone else I know. Complete with the loveless marriage and saying he might as well commit suicide since all I really wanted was his money anyway. Money, what money?
Good for you for setting your boundaries and working on yourself. I think he gets the biggest quack award (at least for today).
