We booked a holiday aboard a year ago when we were on the slippery slope but pretending everything was ok.
Fast forward a year we are in the middle of a divorce. We are amicable most of the time as we are still living in the same house and have two small children.
The holiday is for almost 3 weeks and I really don't want to go. The thought of having to spend all that time in the same space as him is making me really anxious. He isn't abusive or difficult but I just think it's weird to go when we are divorcing. I don't want to play happy families and a part of me is worried he is hoping this holiday will suddenly make me change my mind about divorcing which it won't (I'm divorcing him)
Our friends will also be there staying down the road from us and I don't want there to be an atmosphere when we spend time with them.
I also don't want the kids to pick up on atmosphere.
I think we should go half each. So either I go and he stays with the kids or vice versa.
Is this an unreasonable idea? I've said this to him and he just says well if it gets too bad we will book you a flight home. Oh right then 🙄
