[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, a friend of mine had her parents announce their divorce on Thanksgiving. Fucked her up good for many, many years.... Very selfish timing.[/quote]

+1. Egads! Unless he is abusive (in which case, of course, you get out when you can!), WTF??? The day before Thanksgiving???[/quote]

This is OP.  To respond to a previous post, I never posted any follow up.  Yes, we have been living in the same house (purchased together), sharing all assets until I announced the separation.  I did not end up leaving.  The drama would not have been worth it.  I slept on the guest room.  I am planning on purchasing a car this weekend for my use, though I realize that it will in the end be considered a joint asset since I am purchasing it while married.  His car is his car.  Fine.  I won't touch it.

As to why I did this right before Thanksgiving.  For the first time, we are not traveling or hosting.  I asked him multiple times over the past month or so what he would like to do, e.g., go out somewhere, have me cook a smaller version of a meal at home, etc.  His response has consistently been "I don't care."  This past weekend, I told him I would plan to cook a smaller version of a Thanksgiving meal and asked him what specifically he wanted (side dishes, etc.). He said "It doesn't matter.  We shouldn't really do anything since it is just us this year.  Why bother?  Just do whatever you want that day and I will do."  Mind you, the "just us" includes our son too...as in out family who you would think he would want to share Some kind of Thanksgiving with.  No.  So to be honest, I didn't really think it mattered when I announced.  I made reservations for my son and I on Thanksgiving since I thought we would be at the hotel.

Happy Thanksgiving.[/quote]
