Now I've done it... again

Thank you, everyone.

I had a pretty good day. Work was really busy and I spent some time sorting through storage stuff. It was kind of exciting to pull out stuff that's been put away for so long. It was sad separating pictures.

The kids and I had white bean chili and I made bread pudding. That was a treat. We did movie night. S9 and S2 had trouble agreeing on something to watch. We ended up watching a Rugrat video. Doesn't matter. It was fun.

H tried to call right before dinner "returning" my call from yesterday. I didn't answer, but the v-mail said he didn't call yesterday b/c he was in a "bind" trying to figure out which bills to pay with no money. Give me a break. What bills? I pay the bills. The only new one is his cell phone which, I believe from my previous snooping, isn't due til next month. He didn't call/answer b/c he was at the school. Funny that he was calling on Friday evening though. Thought they'd surely be out.

Anyway, he said he went to storage but the office was closed and he couldn't find out where his stuff is. WTH? My v-mail said I emptied storage and I had his stuff at the apartment. He would have to call me and make arrangements to pick it up if he wanted it. This man is driving me crazy. I don't want to call him, but I feel like I have to respond regarding his belongings. I think I'll just send a brief e-mail reiterating my original message.

MK, I know what you mean about testing/creating our R situation. I have contemplated this. In the beginning, when he was confused and I probably could have pulled it back together, I just went nuts on him. I really went nuts. I made it so much bigger than it had to be. I made a mountain of a mole hill, a tsunami out of a ripple. He may have constructed the gallows, but I carried out the execution. I'm going to take your advice and use my dark time to do more research.

lwb, I highly recommend the Five Love Languages. I can't even really put it into practice at the moment because it would probably be taken as pursuing, but it really does give insight into how to meet each other's emotional needs. I might test the waters, in the future, VERY subtly. Your sitch is different though. I think it would be very good to have in your artillary
