...and there was no reaction at all. Flat line. No expression on his face whatsoever. Wouldnt you think that a 22 year marriage ending would emote SOME kind of response? I was flabbergasted.
When I said I had decided to move out and that it was time for me to go, he didnt say "Why" he said "Where?" and then his next question was about cancelling my mortgage life insurance policy and how not having any term life insurance wasnt a good idea. (um why...you planning on offing me or?) Say what??? It was surreal. All he said after that was "Can we afford for you to do this?" Um...you have no CHOICE but to "afford" it bunky.
I left it that he can think about it and decide if he wants a separation or if he wants me to just divorce him and get it all settled. Again...no reaction. I said he would now be obligated to shun me like he shuns his mother, 100%. No reaction. So I gave up... I said no matter where I move to he would always be welcome in my home because we may not be able to live together but he will always be the father of our children. Again...nothing. So I left the room and went back to the couch for the night. Just layed there for two hours wondering what the hell just happened.
Now we have officially entered the Twilight Zone around here. Im starting the money saving, house hunting, packing and sorting process for real.
