The unexpected

Joyce, my wife's best friend just suggested to me in private...to leave the house. I never thought she would say that to me, considering she tried very hard to keep us together for years.

It was unexpected, yet...she is right, I need to get out of here even if it means being homeless. I've been planning for such a possibility for a while, but now I can see how things can turn out. Nina could at anytime ask me to leave like she did with Joyce, her best friend of 30 years and I would be caught unprepared.

I did promise Nina if I would ever leave I would tell her before I did, and I will, the day before I leave, she will know. Now my main worry is that she may not allow me to keep in touch with the kids. I think she would let me, but...then she may not out of spite.

A friend told me it was better to stay for the sake of the kids, but another has been supportive of me leaving. I've been unsure for months, but now I think I know what I need to do.
