He's Gone !!

[TrappedinSuburbia]

I ecstatic and devastated at the same time!

Yesterday, spent most of it in tears, today i've been out doing the garden and just about to gut the house, feeling 'ok'!

He's been up everyday since to see ds, he seemed a bit chirpier today as well.

Was a mutual decision that we just can't live together anymore, but we're still going to have a relationship but without the crap of living together.

I've always got on better living on my own, I know he might end up hating me and i'll lose the relationship (which would devastate me), but early days and things are looking alright.

I had a thread the other day here please don't flame me for being an evil step mum, we just had fundamentally different views on parenting!

I think you're going to be OK. Good luck for a happier future.

Good for you! I think that we're far too hooked up on the thought that we have to live together in one house - but its blooming hard work! one of my colleagues moved out and lives seperately from her DP because her kids just were not happy. All tension has gone and everyone of them is much happier. The only weird thing is that she ends up cleaning his place as well as hers.... that's not right is it? [hmm}

Thanks, im really hoping we can keep our relationship going. He wants to take me to the cinema!!

Its really horrible trying to sort out the practicalities, I was in tears again trying to help him find permanent accomodation for him and dss.

Im hoping this is just the settling into our new 'groove' or whatever, I feel so bad that he is camped out at his mums just now, we had it made before we ever lived together, why oh why didn't we just stay like that!
