The weekend was mostly good...H spent two days playing with his mega-quad, and though I'm mostly supportive of his guy time, I got a little annoyed when it got to be too much. A good thing I am noticing in our R: instead of stewing and fuming and saying nothing, I'm making more effort to stand up and communicate about things that upset me, and we are talking through our disagreements more. And then we moved on, took the kids on an hour drive and had a pleasant time together.
Two good things H did: 1-After his day 1 ride, he came home and quickly/voluntarily took care of no less than three small jobs I had asked him to do prior to his ride. 2-When he knew he was not going to make it home on time from his day 2 ride, he called to let me know instead of just showing up four hours late.
I'm still feeling the twinges of fear/anger that are most likely normal, but I'm dealing pretty well, and putting my trust in the positives. He's home, he's plugged-in, he's doing things he never did before. I would have killed for that a year ago.
