I've recently split with H and am staying with my parents 200 miles away. This weekend I am taking the kids to see him, but staying in his spare room so I can pack some of my stuff and get stuff sorted out. I also want to be there in case anything goes wrong as the kids aren't used to just being looked after by him.
He is controlling and manipulative, but I know I will end up feeling sorry for him - it has taken me months to pluck up the courage to leave in the first place. I am planning to basically be out all day and do packing then go to sleep at night in the spare room.
I'm worried he will manipulate me into staying with him just because it is easier to not argue. I have been so unhappy the last few months and he has refused to acknowledge that in any way, blaming me for not liking him going out getting off his face drunk or spending money on 'ridiculous' things like pyjamas for the kids and grit for the icy path.
He's a good man, just a twatty husband. I've been so relieved since I told him it is over. I'm worried he will browbeat me into staying with him or doing something ridiculous regarding money etc. Give me strength!
