I had a serious conversation with AE. I explained to him that the tension and ongoing conflict in the house, especially between him and me, has been putting a real strain on the relationship between AJ and me. I told him that AJ and I have even had conversations about the possibility of divorce, because no one wants to live in a home where there is constant conflict and stress.
He seemed to understand that this is not a small issue and that there is a lot at stake. I made sure he understood that his behavior and how we all interact with each other has a real impact on the household.
I also explained to him what that could mean if things were to continue the way they have been. If AJ and I were to separate, it would mean major changes. They would have to move, and our lives would no longer be connected in the same way. We would likely no longer be part of each other’s day-to-day lives.
It was not an easy conversation to have, but I felt it was important for him to understand the seriousness of the situation and how much is on the line.
