I do know what the sunk cost theory is, and I’m aware that I am to some extent falling victim to it. But I’m also being smart and realistic here. I am giving her some time to adjust to the new me. That’s only fair as I have spent the last sixteen years essentially telling her that I prefer to be mistreated. Also, the cost of living in my area is very high, and has gotten a lot higher since I bought the house in 2010. I need a couple of things to happen before I can live on my own, especially either paying child support or being a single dad.
First, I need to get rid of a lot of the debt that’s been causing us such problems. We can barely afford to maintain a household with two incomes as it is, and even a small apartment around here now costs what I’m paying in mortgage if not more. I also would have to get a higher paying job to make anything work on my own. I could move, but my professional certification is only good in this state.
So if I leave, I have to wait a bit to do it. .
