Everything we will lose due to separation/divorce

So, if h's departure is for good:

  • no way for him to carry on the daily activities he does with ds1 (sports, music, chess) while having any kind of quality interaction with dd. Has been easy due to his status as sahd - so much time.

-world-cup about to start - ds so excited, now no dad to share it with. whatever they do, won't be the same as if we all lived together, and if they spend contact time on that, what fun for dd who couldn't give a stuff about football.

  • half my monthly income gone on before and after school clubs. That is if he keeps to his word about not wanting what he's legally entitled to. Otherwise will be the loss of family home. In any case, no holidays/treats/minimal birthdays etc into the foreseeable future.
  • no family holiday,Christmas etc
  • me spending every hour working (stressful job), doing housework, running the home with no back-up whatsoever.

How is this an improvement? How is it conceivable?

If DH isnt working surely it makes sense for him to do childcare/dinners/their activities etc? Dont see why that should stop.
