The weekend went pretty well. Yesterday I told my boyfriend not to bother me for anything the next couple of days until I got my car to the mechanic and it was fixed. I told him I mentally couldn't deal with him and his issues and worry about making his meals etc. So finally at some point last night he looked at my car. Turns out it was just the trans fluid filter that was leaking. Went to autoparts and bought a new one for $9. Done
So happy my car is up and running again. Now I just have to look for another car to buy so that if something else happens I have a backup. I'm also going to break up with my boyfriend. In my head our relationship is over and I'm going to tell him sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'm already looking for an apartment. I just can't deal with his mood swings anymore. When he's in a good mood it's great but I can't always count on that.
$9 could change a life... who knew? Good luck with your plans - as you know it will get harder once you tell him but it's something that needs to be done.
