I did, I think it was nevermind. I know self defeating. When I mentioned late I can't believe you stood me up and are now going out he responded I never once said I wouldn't go.
He went and did his own thing because you told him to 'never mind'. I've done that before, too, Neecy. Post-bomb and before our S, I wanted sooo bad for H to take me out, the way he used to during the good times. However, he always seemed to lack the enthusiam I wanted to see, so I would get frustrated and tell him to forget about it. I'm almost certain that the disappointment would show on my face and he could hear it in my voice. Definitely not attractive.
There were times when I'd say something to him about it. Sometimes joking, other times not. My H would always say, "You told me to forget it! If you want to (fill in the blank), then just say so."
We have to remember that our H's are not mind-readers. No doubt that it would be a whole lot easier if they automatically knew, but in fairness, sometimes we just have to ask for what we want.
Good luck in your search for sitters. Quick question - Is it at all possible for H to watch D while pursuing your GAL goals?
