[QUOTE="Shari, post: 368654, member: 1848"] I vividly recall when Df drove your truck, Star... lol Oh yes, I recall. And yeah, I'm about there. Except my husband has a degree in auto mechanics and won't even change the oil. He did put brake pads on that car, but it took him 4 nights. In the past, I'd blow up my top, then get back to dealin'. I'm not sure I can get back to dealin' anymore. I just feel like I have taken on so many things that need to be done, and the more I pick up, the more he watches tv or plays internet checkers, which just, to me, is...disrespectful. As is how I take a lot of this stuff, like my time isn't worth anything more than cleaning up fishheads. And I'm getting angry. Really, really angry. If his parents died today and he inherited his precious farm, well, that would be the best possible thing that could happen, in my humble opinion, because I wouldn't be moving with him. He has no respect for me in my own space...there's no way I'd remove myself to space that isn't mine at all (in his eyes). No way. And he and his sister that, at 40, still can't afford to make ends meet on her 30 hour a week job can figure out how to be grown ups on their own. So I'm gonna call my friend, the counselor. And I'm gonna pick up my truck tonight (that a good friend fixed for the cost of parts). And I'm gonna pack what I want to eat, and my clothes, and go on my camping trip, because I want to and I look forward to it all year. If he wants to go, fine. He can pack his food and his clothes. But I'm driving. And while I'm there, I'm gonna have a good chat with my friend, the mechanic, about my vehicle situation, and get his honest opinion on husband's effect on the cars, just to make sure I'm not making more of it than there is. And when we get home, I'll unpack my clothes and get ready for my next summer plan. I'll change the oil in my car. I spent about 40 hours this weekend cleaning the house. REALLY cleaning it. easy child 1 helped outside. easy child 1 is watching the place while I am gone, and will be doing more work outside. When I get home, I will be hiring a housecleaner, and will be taking money for it from husband's check. He doesn't like strangers in his house 'casing his stuff' (he and his family are all a bit paranoid that everyone is out to steal their stuff). He can get over it, or he can pitch in and avoid that expense and having strangers look at his stuff. I don't care which. The rest, I don't know yet. But I know that much.
