Confused and Bewildered

[7 Year Itch]

Yep, I totally see what you are saying, and I think that is why I'm able to hold my tongue. I am trying very hard to empathize with him. Just wish he could empathize with me sometimes, ya know!

Well, just got off the phone with him. I had emailed him to ask if he planned to see the girls on friday night. He normally doesn't but hasn't seen them much this last week due to his work schedule and then them having VBS this week. I have a dinner invite for Friday night (with a girlfriend ,but of cousre I didn't tell him that) and wasn't sure if I could accept or not.

Well, he called me to talk about it. He said, sure that sounded great. Then told me that on Sat. he is playing in the fire/police games and that if the girls wanted to come watch them play on Sat. the games are in a city close to us. So I said... "you do realize I'd have to be there sitting with them right?" to which he said. "yeah", and I said.."would there be any reason for me to feel uncomfortable while being there?" to which he said."I don't think so".

So I told him to let me know when he finds out his schedule and maybe we'd "pop by". I"m taking the girls to that Cheetah thing on Sat., and then we have a BBQ that night. So I made it sound like "if we could fit it in" we'd try.

Then when we were talking he realized he was supposed to have a practice for the games Friday night. But he REALLY wants to see the girls. So now he's thinking about not doing the games at all because he hasn't made a practice yet and feels like he's letting his team down.

I was real non chalant and said....... "well, you don't have to see the girls on Friday, I just know you guys didn't get to see each other alot this week so I was offering". To which he said. "Yeah, I know. Ireally want to see them".

I told him to just let me know as soon as he could, and I wouldn't mention it right now to the girls. Told him I'd see him tomorrow night (he'll be out for dinner and to visit the girls).

So I KNOW the invite is just coming for our D6 to see him in the games, but I still take it as semi positive. I mean, if he hated me, he wouldn't want me there with all his coworkers and their wives right?

Hmmm......... thinking too much again.
