I did tell my husband before he left yesterday that he is an adult that can go where he wants and invite who he wants, and that I didn't want him to feel like he couldn't do things (or that he can't tell me what he's doing - I didn't say this but wis I had) without having to worry about me crying.
He repeated that what I had said was reasonable comment and added that he hadn't felt that way and understood what I meant yesterday. He said he hadn't needed the clarification but that I probably had needed to say it.
Being able to see things from my point of view even just that little bit is quite huge, something that does not happen when he is involved with someone else. I hope we can talk about the impact of those supposedly 'not real' relationships on our very real relationship at some point. I'll have to try not to get too carried away about his seeming willingness to have actual two-way conversations all of a sudden.
My D, who survived her week in a national park where they actually still had snow on the ground and once overnight!, is waiting patiently for me to take her to the library, so I'd best do that.
