I am floored that he would even THINK that nevermind mention it. Yeesh.
I do wonder though - how did he know about it? I find it odd that he even knows the - er - uh - current status of your nether regions.
Yeah...fair question...here's how he found out.
He tried ringing me yesterday to find out if my dad was ok or not (my dad had a pacemaker put in about two weeks ago)
Then he asked me about Christmas (he had 'informed' me on the w/e that he 'might' be asking his new g/f to go down to his parents place for Christmas. (i'm currenlty not planning on going...even if new g/f isn't there it's going to be awfully uncomfortable - given the reason for my posting today, who knows what's going through his head). He told me he is having d for Christmas and NY. I told him I hadn't made a final decision and that I thought it would be very uncomfortable for me to be there with him. He didn't seem to understand why I might be uncomfortable (wtf?) and accused me of 'telling everyone' about my 'ex husband', ie that I was the one sprouting about the place that we were separated and referring to him as ex instead of h. I said something along the lines of "and who have I said this to?"
He said that the lady who referred me to the beautician is actually a friend of his (I didn't know they knew each other) and she said to him that I said 'my ex used to do my Brazilian". I may have said the word ex, I may not. I can't remember. What I did say to h was "look, I don't believe I said the word ex, and I can't control how other people talk about what I say. She may have used the word ex all on her own". Thankfully, he conceded the point.
So that's how he knew about the status of my ahem 'nether regions'. Sheesh....if it wasn't so weird it'd be funny.
So that was last nights phone call which ranged in about five minutes from my dad, to Christmas plans, to 'ex husband' comments, to Brazilians, to "why won't you let me do it".
I'd like to keep the phone calls to one topic at a time, or at least have a clear indication that we have finished with one topic before getting lumped with the next one. How do I stick with the one topic without getting distracted? Also, I come across sounding patronising so easily and he gets peeved. How can I change my tone from exasperated to understanding?
I took the dog for a walk this morning and was rehearsing different lines out loud. Hope noone heard me!
