Get me on a smoother ride....need advice - part 3

Well, nothing happening tonight. However, H doesn't need to know that. Stayed out too late with my sister last night.

H called tonight. I took the call. He asked what I was doing. I said...nothing right now, not quite sure yet what we're going to do. Little does he know I'm sitting here in my pj's watching football with my dad. I said, what about you? He told me he was gearing up for the concert. He's excited about seeing Bruce Springsteen in LA with his brother and the concert is a month away. He'd been sitting listening to music. I said, what else have you been up to? He said, not much, I might run out for a little more beer, going to cook up my lamb chops soon & chill out. He has tickets for a concert tomorrow night, so I asked him if he'd found anyone to go with. He said....yeah, my friend Russ. He said, why? I just told him that I was tired of him going alone so I could have called a friend to babysit and I could go with, but since his friend is going, I won't worry about it. Then he asked why I didn't just want to stay until Monday. I hate that. It's not like my H hasn't pushed for more time by himself before, but now's not the right time for him to suggest that. I told him that Monday was the 1st and I'd be way to busy at work. He pushed a little more and I asked why he was trying to get rid of me. He just said I was just looking for a full weekend by myself. Although he might play golf tomorrow and then go to that concert. He won't see us anyway. I said, well, sorry, but we're coming home tomorrow. We talked for a few more minutes. When we were getting off, he said okay then, we both said love you at the same time. He said, love you too. We hung up and D3 was upset because she hadn't talked to him, so we called him right back. He talked to her for a few minutes and then I heard him say.....D3, tell mom you want to stay until Monday. I took the phone and laughed.....I said, we will be home tomorrow.....I told you that Monday is going to be WAY to busy for me at work to take off. He said, okay then and my phone went out. I called him right back and said.....sorry, my phone cut out.....were you saying something to me? He said....yes I was....I said, have fun tonight and I miss you. We both laughed and I said....sure you do smarta$$. He said, okay then, I'll talk to you tomorrow.....again, he said....love you.

Didn't really want to have that much communication with him tonight, but he just kept talking. As far as he knows, I will have gone out again tonight with my cousin. She's single and just a few years younger than me. Not sure how to feel about him pushing me to say longer. H has always been a bit selfish, so if he'd never done it before, I'd be terribly offended. However, it's very much like my H to want to have the full weekend by himself and possibly be able to just chill and watch football by himself without us (if he doesn't golf).

Not looking forward to a 5 1/2 hour drive home tomorrow.
