H called about 20 minutes ago to say hi to the kids. He and I talked for just a few minutes before saying goodbye.
MIL called earlier this evening to ask if the boys could spend tomorrow night with her. Of course I said yes - I always look forward to quiet evenings with me, myself, and I!
Anyway, shortly after hanging up with H, it donned on me that I'll be available tomorrow night, and H should be, too. So I called him up, explained that the boys would be with MIL tomorrow night, and asked if he wanted to go see a movie or something. H said, "I would, and I'd like to, but I already have plans." I said oh, ok. H quickly said, "Would you like to know what they are?" I said if he wanted to tell me, that was fine. He then proceeded to tell me that a few of the guys from work are going to a Warriors' game, and they invited him along. I said that was nice and sounded fun. Wished him a great time. H said, "Yeah, we'll see." ... ??? ... Ok, whatever. H said maybe we could do something else some other time. I said sure, sounds good.
Have to admit that I am a little disappointed, but I do hope he has a fun time tomorrow.
H and I haven't really spent any time together since Super Bowl - that was the first weekend of February - and he hasn't even asked me to do anything since then. That's why I asked him. Figured it couldn't hurt, and it's when we go longer without quality time together that we drift further apart.
I read FLL by Chapman and learned that my LLs are quality time and physical touch. H's are words of affirmation and acts of service.
Neither can deliver if we aren't together.
Ugh. Just frustrated today.
