Update- I stayed here at the house until the 6:30 (looking cute, I might add) then needed to leave to go the Divorce Support Group. (And I am very glad I went, but that's besides the point.)
Anyway, as I was leaving, I sent him a text that said "I had to leave. Sorry I missed you."
A few minutes later my phone rings and it's H.
Me "Hello?"
Him "Why are you so much nicer in the written word than when we speak?"
Me"you think so?"
Him "Well, maybe I'm wrong, but it sure seems that way. You were really short with me when I called to say I was coming over for the camping stuff, but then you left that nice note. And same thing last night, but then you sent a nice text message."
Me"uh...Can I send you a text message answer? hahaaha" both laugh. pause
Me"hmmm..I can see why you might think that."
Him"well, yeah. I thought maybe you were mad or something."
Me "hmmm"
Him "So, did you have an appointment tonight or something?"
Me "not an appt, per se, just meeting up with some friends."
Him "ok. I thought maybe you were just avoiding me since you didn't sound sure if you were leaving." {Wow- I am so transparent to him}
Me "No, I just wasn't positive I was going to go."
Me "So, where'd you go camping?
Him "Oh, over to Friends cabin in mountains. It was a 'boys' camping trip"
me" Friend has a cabin?"
And then he explained the deal with that.Complimented my lawn mowing. More small talk and then he need to go to make a call to the east coast.
All in all, a fine convo. and I can see that he is watchful of how I am acting.
I got back a few minutes ago, came in the house and his mail (which had been on one table) was on the island, near the fridge where my calendar is hanging up . It was also next to a wedding invitation in september. I do believe he was checking out my plans. Which is fine by me since I am very busy this week.
Okay- so now to the exchage above- Dom R- I do VERY much appreciate your advice. VERY, VERY much. And maybe I am missing the mark with my H; but I don't think that coming on to him will help. Last summer was the first summer we had no kids in the house, and it was pretty great. We rented a Harley, went and did more things. Our sex life hasn't really been lacking (for the most part). My belief is that what he wants is less friendship and more passion; but it doesn't have to do with sex. In fact, I just remembered that I questioned why he wanted to leave me when we had such a great sex life and he said that sex isn't everything.
my3sons-I am flattered that you have followed my sitch and commented.
