Well the weekend came and went. After he asked me to lunch or dinner and never followed through. I allowed myself to get excited and look forward, which yes means I allowed myself to get hurt. He knows my bugaboo was don't say you'll call, or do something then not do it. He knew he stood me up, and didn't call to cancel or whatever. Anyhoo, he called last night around eight, left a message that he was on way back to where he is living from a business golf game, which was down the road from our home. He said he was just touching base, in a light upbeat tone of voice. I don't know if I should call back or if I should just text a "sorry I missed your call" message. He will be dropping my daughter off at home from their scheduled dinner date tomorrow eve. I do not want to be here when he does. Still feeling stupid and manipulated Any suggestions?

I haven't been able to follow your thread much, but my advice to you would be this. If you don't want to be there when he drops off your D, then don't be there. As far as calling him back or texting, i also wouldn't. Be a bit mysterious. Make sure you let him know that you will be fine without him. I can definitely understand why you say your feeling manipulated, so try and make sure to do things that keep you busy and your mind off your H.
Good luck.

Please limit your posts to one thread, it's easier for us to follow your sitch and offer advice. Don't create a new thread until your old one reaches 100 posts. Here's a link to your main thread, I'll copy your post from here to it:
Sorry he didn't follow through. Unfortunately that happens. My H was supposed to call me last night to discuss his new plans.... he did not. I text'd him this morning to make sure he was okay, b/c he he could've fell off a mountain for all I knew. Then he called.
Per Sandi's rules, believe none of what the WAS says and half of what they do.
So he got your hopes up. I'd if you're strong enough to be there when he drops D off, do so and look great while doing so. If not, then don't. I agree with shouldistillhope to not call or text him back.
