I hear you about the teaching. I don't work the summers, either, especially since the cost of childcare would leave me with about $2 an hour, anyway.
Wow, the recent contacts do sound like something. Do you sometimes feel like we need a translator in the room while talking to the WAH? I know that there is so much going on in my head...I often wish I could find just the right way to say it so he would actually hear and understand me.
Maybe he asked you for the day / night of because he was afraid of overthinking it, or that he himself would back out of it? Aack--to only know what the he!! is in their heads! You're right--it seemed so much easier to talk / be together before the bomb. I am sick and tired of eggshells, myself. I'm pretty much ignoring them, now.
