I guess I can start off with quitting my job last August 2005. I was so bored! Anyway that is when things started going downhill. We didn't have that extra income, so my husband, I think, is holding that against me. That leaves his income to cover all our bills. You see, he's an alcoholic also, so his "needs" have to be met first. He has told me not to worry about working...he will take care of things. Well, now we are getting kicked out of or home because we got behind on rent (there again because of that missing 2nd paycheck). When he left for work this morning, here's what he said to me..."I was going to talk to you about this when I got home tonight, but here goes...I think we should live apart for awhile so we can work our problems out." (Me)"What?" You wanna split up?" (He)"Well, just to work things out. It seems we are fighting ALL the time." Now I thought in order for a couple to work things out, they had to be TOGETHER? He said we will discuss it more when he gets home. What should I do? I love him with all my heart. I don't want to be apart from him. Do I give him his space. Is it because we are going thru a tough time now? I feel as though he is abandoning me at a critical time when we should be pulling together. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
