H barely acknowledges me when I go into work(something I am used to - I just smile).
The phone rings later at work and I answer it and someone says, hi - you're the one I want to talk to. I am silent because I don't know who it is (people confuse me with another person in the office all of the time). The caller says - it's me. I am still silent. He finally says - it's me (H's) name. I started laughing and said that I was sorry that I didn't recognize your voice (I really didn't recognize it).
He is at a store looking for help for Christmas gifts for D. He doesn't know what to do and is asking for my advice. Long story short, he takes pictures of the items and sends them to me so I can give my opinion. I help him make a decision.
He comes back to the office and calls me in his office so he can show me the purchases. And yes, they are expensive, big ticket items. He has truly become the Disneyland Dad.....Guilt...nothing but guilt.....
Later, when I am home, he calls. D11 has a competition in another city this weekend. He says he mistakenly got an extra hotel room and would I like it. I told him I would let him know tomorrow. About two weeks ago, he offered to get a room for me and I told him that if I wanted a room, I would get one (this sounds snotty - I was kind when I said it - along the lines of not sure what I was doing yet and if I needed one, I would make the arrangements). Now, today, an extra room is paid for and available.....
I just think it is wierd. Honestly, I can't believe he didn't just eat the cost of the extra room.
Tonight we had a sports banquet for D13. He shows up and comes up to me with nice small talk. I am, of course, pleasant and smiley....as usual.
The only thing that I read into this is that he wants something from me. I haven't spoken to him about the property distribution yet so I wonder when he will bring that up. I did notice that he had on a new designer shirt tonight.....food for thought when thinking about the property settlement....
I continue to be pleasant and will continue with this. It is more peaceful for me and helps me with my PMA.
And, even though it will be wierd...I think I will use the hotel room. Saves me a down and back trip in the same day....
