All Hope is lost/Help - Part 2

[Evie]

Wish I had just said yes no problem, i'll have the boys at work with me. H always turns it round to make me feel that i'm unreasonable, maybe I was, but his moans about how much harder it all is for him are of his own making. I didn't reply to the text, but later he text me again to ask me if I wanted him to buy a birthday present for S2 to take to a party that he has being invited too. So he wasn't that angry and I think he txt me to guage my mood, to see if he had upset me with his comments.

Next day, I went to work, H collected s off me and came back home. When I got home he had prepared and cooked a roast dinner. It was very comfortable and we chatted away, he stayed for an hour before going to work.

I texted him to thank him for cooking, it had being a lovely treat and great for the 4 of us to be together. H replied to say it had been a fab lunch just the 4 of us and it was good for the boys for us all to be together. H txted me later to ask if we were all ok as he had diariohea and he hoped it wasn't his cooking, he said he was worried and in pain. We have an extremely viruliant bug over here atm, which is extremely painful, and it was enough to concern me when H said he was worried, he very rarely gets ill, some cases over here have been hospitalised. I asked him to call me should he need anything. He replied saying he was going to bed and thanked me for my offer, which was very kind of me.

Good interactions and an enjoyable weekend.

I spoke to a mum at school today (she doesn't know the sitch), she was saying that her H works 70 hours a week, she works 3 days. I'm beginning to think it's the norm for men to be working long hours - if they're in a management job anyway.

In conversation yesterday, h was saying he was hoping to do a higher diploma course with a view to taking over a diferent job in a couple of years when the person who is currently doing the job retires. He also said the flats that he had viewed were to small. I didn't go into panic mode about this as i may have done previously, I know I have to be patient and it's early days yet, at least the flats are nearer and the thought did cross my mind that he couldn't hide another W (if there is one) as he would be right under our noses, so I saw that as a positive.

I called H this morning, just to check he was ok. He said he had slept all night and was feeling a bit better.

I'll back off now I don't want to over do it with the contact.
