[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all, ugh, my husband hasn't worked in years and was supposed to take care of this but looks like I will be taking off work early today to get things ready.  I generally work long hours and was depending on him for this.  I don't generally depend on him or ask him for anything, but this is our son and he said he was handling everything.  Sigh.  I asked at the local grocery store I went to last night but it's a small store and they said they don't do cakes themselves.  I'm going to call Costco now.  [/quote]

And yet you’ve stayed with him. Sigh.[/quote]

Sigh again, yes, unfortunately I have because his self-employed business crashed during Covid lockdown and shortly after that I got a terminal medical diagnosis.  He is waiting for my life insurance money and my 401K. I know this deep in my heart and can hardly stand him.  However, do I want to subject my children to going through a trauma like divorce while knowing I may pass away before it's even concluded or shortly after?  I have agonized over this decision and the answer is no.  I also can't afford divorce as we are barely making it on my under $90K salary and I need to stay employed for medical insurance not just for me but for my kids too...and him I guess, and to keep paying the mortgage.  I can't pay him child support nor alimony on my salary as it would bankrupt us, and I would never be able to afford childcare for my kids while I'm working in the office.  At least he provides that.  I do realize I will be pretty much working until I die to keep the family afloat and I'm okay with it now.  I just want to minimalize the hurt to my kids and give my youngest a good birthday tomorrow.  I'm not going to put them through a high conflict divorce (because, believe me it would be).

I did order the cake at Costco but I'm stressed that it won't be ready in time.  I just filled out a paper and dropped it in the order box. I would have felt better about it if I could have actually spoken to someone there about it.  I will go to Giant if it doesn't work out.  I'm not very close to Wegmans unfortunately.  [/quote]
