Last night when DH came home he said he'd thought about the respect thing and he could do it. Said he'd do some reading up. I said, "On respect?" He said, "No, I don't need to read up on that. On talking to the kids."

Here's my new dilemma. He went out last night to "check out some cafes" and it's 7:30 am now, and he's not back. He has never stayed out all night. Our oldest crawled out of bed this morning, went to look in papa's bed, and came back to my bed. Later he said, "Where's papa? He didn't come home." I am so pissed off.

I feel like saying to him, "Okay, you agreed in principle that as long as the kids aren't affected, there's no reason to tell them anything. So now you're either being passive-aggressive and pushing it so we'll have to tell them, or you're acting selfishly because you just don't care, whether it's best for them or not."

I'm appalled. Because of the kids, it's going to be hard to give him a breezy "good morning" when he blows in. *#&&$^*#!
