Mother’s day is this Sunday in the UK. Barely husband has made every possible agreement to please me and get me to join him and our daughter for lunch.
In our new unofficial – but very respected – custody agreement, she would be with him, not me and he doesn’t want us to be apart. He is saying he is doing it for her but I know he is trying to get closer to me and bring us together as a family.
I understand it but I worry. I know he is still having trouble letting go and he can’t see we can get on like this but not when we’re living together. We’ve tried for so long and we end up getting on each other’s nerves.
I’ve been doing everything that annoyed him, especially when I’m alone at home. It’s how I like to be. I won’t go back on that.
There’s an italian says that goes: “Quando il gatto non c’è, i topi ballano” and the closest translation I found is “When the cat is away, the mice will play.”
Enjoy and fully embrace your freedom. 🙂 ❤

Hahaha! I like this. There are similar versions in different languages, I guess, but all give the same message.
Yes, this little mouse enjoys sitting on the couch with a book and a glass of wine, forgetting everything else in the world exists. I’ve been doing that a lot. I love it!

You do you :). There’s a lot of things that I stop doing in a relationship but that I love and makes me me. So be you. It may annoy him… But he doesn’t define you 🙂

I’m doing just that. It’s what makes me realise we really can’t be together. I’ll try my best to maintain a good relationship with him. We have a daughter to care for and that’s important. But separate lives is proving to be the best for us.
