Some people have the best sense of timing, don't they? Right before your birthday, during the holidays?

I remember going to a workshop once where we were told 95% of the partners who said they wanted out of a relationship were either in an affair, or their head had been significantly turned to someone other than their spouse. I'm not saying one way or another, but it's something to think about.

Of course, you could be right about him wanting to watch TV when he wants, but wait until he finds out he has to pay support for his children, then supports himself as well. There won't be time for watching TV if he has to work OT, there won't be money for beer, food, cable......it might be an eye opening experience for him. Has he sat down and figured what it will be if he moves out?

In any event - I'm sorry, I know this is hard and having a partner say something like that is a scary experience. And the time of the year makes it worse. Good luck, keep us updated.
