a sigh of relief...yes! i wouldnt worry as much about what im going to do the next time he meets another person & decides he needs to leave! i always say to him,"okay, go on then," and i begin to make arrangements but im always holding my breath knowing its gonna be rough not being able to pay the bills but with a lottery ticket??? id give him his half and play it cool til he starts up again, them id leave with a smile! id probably take myself on a trip to hawaii or something! you know, its funny you ask, this is one of my fantasies- having that kind of security, a soft place to fall back on!
