Friday nights alone

We are neither here nor there - not divorced but clearly not together. One of the things I hate the most is being alone on Friday nights. Same story almost every Friday - he asks me if he should stay home. He knows that by asking he can go out with his single friends and feel guilt free because he asked and I said nothing.

Re: Friday nights alone
are we living the same life? LOL.
((hugs))
Been there too.
So why are you saying nothing? Why not say "No. How about we spend some time and work on our relationship."?
i don't because we are in the process of divorcing and i stay in "our" house on nights i have school. i guess b/c i'm here he feels like he should be, too.
i guess i didn't hear that part. i tell him to please go and that i'm fine without him.
and that's the truth.
He doesn't want to work on our relationship. He says he does but his words and actions are completely inconsistent (like the very fact that he goes out with his single friends every Friday). Even on nights when I have said "I don't want you to go", he has still gone out anyway, and then I feel even worse because he knows I want him to stay and still doesn't care.
Last night when he came home he says he feels bad knowing that I stayed at home by myself crying. I believe him that he feels bad, but the truth is he cared more about prioritizing what he wanted for himself - and that's just the way things are between us in general. He feels bad that I'm unhappy but the feeling bad doesn't outweigh his own personal interests ever.
