We are looking now at renting two hotel rooms, if we can afford it. Since this is the off season, we are hopefull it won't be too expensive.

Hubby has not been affectionate to me unless he wanted something (clean socks, a special dinner, my approval for something, or marital relations) since soon after we were married 10 1/2 years ago. I have been unhappy in the relationship for about 2 years now, and he will make temporary, sugar-coated changes, then go right back to his old, manipulative ways. In February, I told him that I wanted to leave. Since then, he has been too perfect. He follows me to the bathroom, is constantly hugging or kissing me, sending me e-mails at work, ect. If he could ride around in my pocket all day, he'd hapilly would! As soon as he feels secure about me staying, all this will stop. So, i don't put much faith into it. I still daydream about living alone, in my own little house, just me and the kids. And he says that is not normal, and that I am the one with a mental problem!!
