Hello Michelle.

I want you to know that my 'story' is very similar to yours. It's all happening so quickly and it's totally out of my hands.

Keep Plan A'ing as long as you feel it don't destroy you and/or your love for your husband.

I'll keep reading here.
Take care <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hi again
If the van is yours you should have it!

We too have shared my van. After H left and made it clear to me that he's still having an affair and have no intention to be with me, I asked him for the key. He can borrow the car occationally if he's taking our son out - that's it.
My H uses his bike & the bus - I don't see why I should make it easier for him and even more difficult for me to get arround.

We have a dog too - I'm going to find a new home for him because I can't afford to live in the house much longer.

I missed the van Q. I agree completely with Danish. As long as you notify him (make up a legit excuse) w/o anger, judgement (don't use OW's as a reason), and unreasonable demand ... you are not LB'ed. If you give that van away you are enabeling his A ... but if you LB'ed on this issues you are pushing him away.

so i said i had a great story to tell!! Here goes...yesterday, H and I are talking and i mention again that it is way too early for any contact between OW and m our kids..so he then says...ok, i am willing to accept that right now..and then....can you "babysit" the kids on saturday? Babysit? I say first off...I dont babysit my own kids...neither does he!! Then I ask what he is going to be doing..he says there is a party...i ask with her..he says yeah...I say well no, they see you on the weekends...he says well they were invited too..I say NO WAY are they going..he say ok...we leave it at that for then!! Talk again today...we also have a 85th bday party for his grandma that we are both going to as none of his family has met our baby yet...it is going to be hard on me...basiaclally knowing he doesnt want me there..anyways back to story..will follow up on grandmas bday party later!! lol So he then asks me wouild you want to drop me off in toronto (where the party is) and i kinda look at him and laugh and say..are yiu seriously asking me to drop you off at this party...he sai i guess not..I could not belive the balls!! His mum also refused to take the kids home for him..she does not wantt o enable him to see her any more..why should we make it easier for him!! I then mention I had plans on saturday that I hadnt told him about because i didnt think it mattered as the jkids would be with him..so in the end he said he wuold take the kids and i could go out..I thot he meant to the party with OW but he clarified and said no he would stay home with the kids!! we havent come to a final plan for saturday yet, but will eventually!! I asked if her husband new about my H he said no not yet..i said where does he think she is giopng to be on saturday..he says at the party..then says he was invited but didnt want to go..so i ask him..does that not make you wonder...of he had wanted to go my H would not have even been invited..he sai no that it didnt bother him! I asked him..will you not feel awkward as she intoduces you to her frinds as "my boyfiend" while you are stanfdnin there wearing the wedding band I gave you..he said no it wouldnt seem weird!! I said something like " hi everyone this is my new "boyfriend" his wife and three kids are at home right now!!!" anyways..just updateing..will keep posted!! am i the only one that thinks this is totally crazy?? he is goign against everythign he ever belived in these days..I hope he wakes up and snaps out of it soon!
