Time will tell

It was an early start for me this morning. I'm still trying to work out if it was a good day or not. I suppose time will tell. My man has quit his job and came home this morning. It isn't quiet as bad as it sounds he has another job to go to on Monday which is Bendigo based in preference to Australia based. I should be incredibly happy about that but l just do not know if this is a good decision or not. He loved the job but missed his children. I'd like to think that he missed me too but that is a hard thing for a man to admit, isn't it.

I am concerned that he is putting himself back in the position to be manipulated again. When he is away he can't be pushed to do things that he doesn't want to because he simply isn't here but when he is home she takes advantage of his soft nature. Pick the kids up from here, take the kids there, you never spend enough time with the kids, etc, etc. The list goes on and includes the spouting on the shed is falling off, the security door isn't closing properly, the trailer is full of rubbish and she doesn't have a towbar, the pickets on the front fence are falling off and generally speaking she makes him feel responsible for these things. Is it unfair of me to ask why she doesn't just get somebody in to fix these things ? I have a gardener/handyman who does little jobs for me. Otherwise, when he comes home we would never get any time together because l would have a list too. She is just manipulative and plain unreasonable. I should also add there, RUDE and demanding. You are right in assuming that l do not like her. I tolerate her because he has asked me too. No other reason. I need to stop looking at the negatives to this situation and be happy that he is home again. However, time will tell.
