Everyone need words of encouragement. Just 3 more days I will be gone!
I played it smart last night. I went to bed before DH had too much to drink. Tonight I was trying to get more done. At first DH was nice to me but now he's reached his a**hole drinking mode. Birching about all my boxes every where. Trust me everything is organized and out of the way. I am trying to keep my calm. He's not worth fighting. Although I will say you can tell the alcohol is bringing out his pissed off side that I am leaving.
I talked to my new landlady today and she is going to let me get keys to my place tomorrow. I think the next 2 days after work I will load up as much as I can in my small car.
You've got that right!

Nearly there. Hang in there
Nearly there. Hang in there sister.
Hang in there! I been there.
Hang in there! I been there. I know what you mean about the drinking. I remarried after 21 years. DH has a temper with drinking. I went to counseling on my own...we stil have some heated fights...but at least he does not drink and get in those pissy mood. I rather he did not drink at all. So far he just has a couple of beers once in awhile. I thank God for that.
You sound just like me,
You sound just like me, Justme54. I remarried after being married for 25 years the first time to a man who has a temper when drinking. He does enjoy several beers on Friday nights and we have been known to have some heated fights. I've gone so far as to pack a bag and almost walk out. However, I know how to handle him, calm him down, then we make up. I knew this when I married him and it doesn't happen much anymore now that adult kid problems are settling down. Most of our fights were about the kids, so hopefully, as they all mature and get older, those issues will disappear or at least not have such an impact on our life.
I agree with your statement about those rose colored glasses!
Its too bad you couldn't rent
Its too bad you couldn't rent a uhaul for tomorrow and call in sick. Not that I promote calling in sick BUT then you would be out of there tomorrow! Maybe get a good friend to help you out in the moving your stuff. I will keep you in my prayers that this time goes smoothly and fast for you.

I have no tolerance for drinkers who do not want help, ESPECIALLY the ones who are total asses when they drink! Good for you to move on from this you will be in my prayers. Three days to a new life WHOOO HOOO!
WOW what an evening! Was
WOW what an evening!
Was able to get keys to my place this afternoon. When I got to common home DH and roomie where here. I noticed that DH was drinking vodka instead of beer like he normally drinks during week. Thought to myself "there isn't anyway I am sticking around". Decided to pack my car full and take stuff to new house. Got to my new place and found myself not wanting to leave!
When I got back to common home DH kind-of broke his silence. I got the can we still be friends, can I have a hug, can we go out once in a while, so you really got your own place. He got no response from me. Truth be told, I totally expected this. But after tonight sitting in a bare house on floor, realizing I would rather sleep on the floor than go "home", I know I am doing the right thing.
Let us all know once you are
Let us all know once you are settled ok? For those of us who have been there, we know how some men will play a few tricks at this stage.
Pop a champagne cork for yourself ok! Well done.
Good for you!!! You've just
Good for you!!! You've just about made it. Yes, it IS better to sleep on the floor than to spend another night in a house with a potentially violent drunk. (((HUGS)))
