Hi ALBB,

From now on when you make plans, tell him you’re going with or without him. When he sees that you are, in fact, leaving the house to have a fabulous weekend without him, he will join in. If he doesn’t, great, then you can see what it’s like on your own, if only for two days. Don’t worry about the added cost if he bails. Don’t be afraid of leaving with the only car, even. Just go. Pay money in advance (“hotel”/”tickets”) so you HAVE to go!

Live your life whether he’s along for the ride or not!

Best,

Inky
