So I asked very quietly that the Husband leave, and I meant it. There is only so far a person can go. The car conversations, the furniture conversations all stopped and for once the penny dropped this was not a game.

Currently we are talking and not about his new car, this morning we are taking the girls to look at a new school and this friday we may take an hour to go to a new bar together. These are all breaking news in our relationship.

Its a calm place to be and their may even be future but it is very early days, can I cope with the husband long term I still can't answer that question. But for today it looks as though I can.
