H tried calling twice last night but for some reason my cell didn't ring. The second time H left a vm and I called him back. Said I was sorry that the phone didn't ring. H said it did on his end. Don't know why I felt the need to defend myself when H has hardly answered any of my calls for the last year and never misses ones from the EAs. Didn't talk a lot, basically he was calling to check in and tell the Ds goodnight.
I sent a text this morning to let H know I stayed home w/ D10. She has some sinus funk going on. H called a couple of hours later and we talked a little. H ended saying he would talk to us later.
I am proud of you regarding the pictures...) Hope your daughter is feeling better. It's OK to be clear about things like the phone not ringing. You have nothing to hide or act funny about. So, don't worry about it. When is he coming back, was it an one week-trip?
Kalni, H will be gone just shy of a week. He comes back on Thurs. which is one of his evenings w/ the Ds. (Not sure of the time he gets back. H used to give me a copy of his intinerary but he hasn't done that for awhile.) Actually it has been nice for the past few days not having to wait around for him to stop by to see the Ds in the evenings. Are you feeling less pressure with your H out of town?
Liz, I am in a more "clean cut" situation than most of you guys so I don't feel the pressure anymore. I used to, when he was still home and I was relieved when he would go abroad on a trip. At the moment, he has no free time during the weekdays and I only have contact with him (because of the kids) during weekends. So for me, it doesn't make a difference. (To be honest, I miss him more knowing he is far away and txted that to him!!!). After what you asked I realised I am not in any pressure for the last month or so. That feels great.
H called last night to tell Ds good night. We chatted a little but it didn't seem like we were contecting at all. H didn't seem as if he was enjoying talking with me and was doing it out of obligation. I noticed again that H was tight lipped about who he was having dinner w/ not that I came out and asked.
The only people he mentioned as being on this trip is another male I don't know and a male w/ a partner. No mention of either EA. I don't think EA 1 is there because it is not her territory. EA2 works for this division of the co. so I checked her extentsion last night and sure enough she is out of the office until Fri. That means she (EA2) is on the trip.
Of course I won't mention that I know this to H. I just don't get why he didn't tell me she would be there. I'm sure he thought I would throw a fit. Honestly, I have seen a pic of her and she is homely. I am much hotter. (EA1 is homely too, but I'm more concerned about her because H talks w/ and travels w/ her more.) I do believe that H has lied to me in the past about where he was and who he was w/ when spending time w/ EA2. When I checked his text msg. months ago I did find inappropriate texts from her. I could tell from them that she has feelings for H. What a pathetic loser she is that she sends a suggestive msg. to a depressed married man w/ two children.
Wow, I'm rambling today. Anyway, I decide that if H was out to dinner w/ her lastnight I had to get his mind back on me. I sent him a pic. msg of something that was surely not on the menu. Didn't hear anything so 1 1/2 hours later I sent him a msg. asking if there was anything good. H said nothing on the menu was as good as what was on his phone. Made me feel better. Then we ended up sending a few more msg. before I went to bed.
H called today to let us know his trip was extended a day. Although I have been appreciating the time apart, Ds and I were looking forward to his return on Thur. Now we have to wait until Fri. D10 was bummed. She ended up saying something really funny tonight w/ some political insight and I texted it to H. H sent back a positive reaction so that lifted her spirits. Then we did a little video msg for H. That made him and her happy.

That's awesome
Glad to hear he's keeping in contact. You two seem to really have the whole flirting thing down...
You should make up a menu for when he comes home and ask him if there is anything on there that he likes
Wow! You have a lot more fun with your phone than I do....but mine doesn't take pictures so that limits my abilities.
Anyway, some more positive interaction. That is good! And maybe H was sounding uninterested on the phone the other night b/c he is tired, tired of being on the road, or just wasn't in a talking mood. Sometimes I assign feelings to my H's behaviors and find out when talking to him later that I was off the mark.
The comment about you being better than anything on the menu can't be taken as anything but a good thing, right??
