The last two times he left six months before me so he wasn't part of any of that and when I got upset about his not taking care of things needing taken care of on his end, instead of thinking he was being strong when he remained calm during my meltdowns, it only upset me more and then he couldn't even talk to me for awhile! lol We take turns too, but in these sort of situations, I’ve always felt that Mr. Modern wasn’t being strong, but just clueless about all of the pressure and responsibility I carried packing up our homes, dealing with moving companies, contractors, preparing for sale and selling our homes, finding the new schools and getting the kids situated and all the other zillion details by myself.
