Some interesting things happened yesterday. H came by the office and talked with me for a little while. I was still kinda upset about the whole sister e-mail thing. He could tell I was flustered so he asked what was going on. I told him basically that my family was not supportive of my position with our sitch. I told him about the e-mails and my dad's comment the other day. He was very supportive. He said that my dad is coming from a totally different place. His ex-wife left him after 25 years and 4 kids. He is VERY bitter about that. If I am looking for support from him with the DBing, he is not the guy I am going to get it from. It was nice that H was being so insightful and sweet. We talked a little about my crying at the closing the other day. I told him that it was just hard because I really didn't want things to get this far. He said that he understood why I was upset that day, but that I still have to remember that the land I bought is a good investment. If we get back together we can always sell it or build a spec house on it. He has always wanted to do that anyway.
I also mentioned to him that S5 told me Daddy was going to buy him a snake. He laughed about it and said,"Yes, he says he needs a pet at my apartment." I know that is from a book that S and I have been reading at night called "Two Homes for Tyler". It is about a little boy whose parents are divorce. It stresses that even though things have changed he can still be happy and know he is loved by both his parents. In the book the dad has a cat at his apartment, and the mom has a dog at their house. I guess S thinks his dad needs a pet. I know I wasn't supposed to do it, but I very lightheartedly said,"Just throwing this out there, but what if we do get back together? What are you gonna do with the snake?" H said that I would have to get over it. He would take care of the snake. I would never have to handle it if I didn't want to. I thought that was pretty big that he didn't just tell me that we weren't ever getting back together.
I am taking the kids to the lake in a few weeks. My family rents cabins for Mem. Day weekend every year. I want to bring our ski boat, but I need H to make sure it is running OK first. I asked him if he could come by some time and take care of that for me. He asked if I was planning on doing any fishing while I was up there at the lake. I told him if I had an opportunity I was going to jump at it because I have really been wanting to go fishing lately. I just haven't had anyone to go with. He said, "I'll take you fishing if you want." Wow! Alone in a boat with me?! We'll see if he follows through on that one.
H called later and told me that he was going to loan our ski boat to his brother for the weekend. His brother was going to drive out to the house and pick it up. No big deal. Then a little while later he told me that he was going to go ahead and get the boat for his brother. He drove out to the house himself a few minutes later. I got the boat ready for him. Took the cover off, stowed all the skis and wakeboards away. That sort of thing. When he pulled up to the house he backed up to the boat and then got the kids out of the truck. We chatted for a few minutes, then he told me that he was not taking the boat. His brother had changed his mind about taking it. Why did he drive out there then? That confused me. He said that his brother had just called him when he was right down the road, but still...why come out there if he didn't want to see me.
Anyway, those were my events for the day. Anybody want to give me a read on what he's thinking? I don't think he has decided to reconcile or anything, but I get the feeling it is an option in his mind. That isn't to say he is going to choose that option, but he knows it is there.
