Last week I was told my contract was not going to be renewed. When they told me why, it was bs and I decided to fight them. In the end they decided they needed to "document" my "failings" to cover their butts. After thinking it over and realizing I didnt want to work in that kind of environment and that I really had been wanting to leave anyway, I told them I changed my mind. They are still trying to "document"-though there isnt anything I know-just in case I changed my mind, which I wont.
Gave notice at my apt. Various friends have asked me to stay with them while I look for a job, etc. I will be unemployed as of June 30. At 59 years old. I feel at peace about it. Dont have a clue which way to turn or where to go, but feel at peace.
Ex is so jealous he cant stand it. HE's planning to retire next year and wants to move. I'm not sure how that will work out for him. He will have the time, but not the money. Asked if I wanted the house and I told him no-i was expecting that. Keep asking where am I going. Keep telling him I dont know. Asked if I was going to let him know where I go. Asked him Why he wanted to know? He got all defensive and said He didnt NEED to know. Sorry. Typical. I told him that's not what I said. He said well he guessed he just wanted to make sure I was ok. This is the man who said I was too dependent on him.
NOT going to tell him where I am going. In fact, gone give him a completely different location. For the first time in over 26 years, he is NOT going to know where I am. That is one of the pluses of me leaving. I can finally go somewhere and not worry about running in to him and #4.Not worry about him trying to come back to me..cause I will be in the wind.

Jackie, good for you!!
You can really make a clean break now and a totally new start. Good luck with all of it.
Honey, good for you. Go for it, all the way. I did it. And am I ever happy that I did it. He must have been shocked to see you actually stand up and be heard. You will be fine.
He is totally reverting back. Has a house he wanted. has been working on it spending money on it to to do things he wanted. The perfect job he wanted . A new wifey. Well, the day to day things of the job now bother him, so he wants to retire WAY before he can afford to. Had said he and he pal were doing really well selling jerky and smoked cheeses, etc at the markets. Suddenly, not doing that anymore. Now he and wifey are making skin products to sell (he\'s done this before). Rebuilding the expensive hot dog cart he bought when THAT was his obsession-a few years back. Is talking about wanting to move from here once he \"retires\" and goes to work for himself. Talking about moving to Oregon which is hilarious cause THAT\'s what he was talking about doing when I first met him 26 years ago. I dont know if these are things they discussed before she moved here or if he started flitting around like this after they got married. They have been married 6 months. I have friend in New Orleans I can stay with. A friend
here. A friend in Lake Jackson and a friend in Kentucky. The world is my oyster and I\'m loving it...even though I really dont like oysters-hahahahah
thanks all.
