sorry to hear it's so weird. sounds like your doing well despite it. and who knows, maybe your H said that about you not coming to his moms because he figures you wouldn't want to go. maybe it wasn't the fact that he doesn't want you to go. ? who knows why, I wouldn't take it bad though. It does seem odd that his attitude changes when talking about his family. I would look at the better side, that when he's talking about you, or with you, he's in a better mood. like about your present.
speaking of presents.... I don't think your this type of person (I am/was).. but make sure not to give any critism to his gift. like saying, wow, that is cool... I wish it had such and such on it. I use to do that, and now realize that it made H feel bad and that he couldn't do enough for me. But I don't perceive you as that type of person, you always seem to have such great things to say about everything. like your vacations and things.
