I asked him about how his friend at work was. He went a bit funny and didn't want to talk about it and said he had gone strange. I just said, oh and left it. This friend was the biggest influence on my h before h left me. He was a new friend that h had just met and h preferred spending time with him. This friend also had just broken up with his long-term girlfriend and was having an affair with someone in HR who was engaged to someone else. He drunk a lot of alcohol and was the one that kept my h out all the time instead of coming home to me. It is quite interesting that this relationship has gone soar and I am pleased he is out of the picture. Combine that with his frustrations with his job and I think there is an opportunity for me to be the greener grass.
Also, something quite funny that happened. We were going to paint some strips of wood and h asked how we should do it. I suggested using his work bench, he asked me where it was and I said the shed. H went out to get it and he opened the door and walked into a load of spiders webs. A) he is petrified of spiders and B) he can't stand being sticky of having bits of stuff on him. It was like a great John Cleese moment and it was really funny (I was in the house and h didn’t know I had seen). When he came back I didn't say anything, he just said that it wasn't in there. Instead of me saying yes it is, going to the shed and producing it (which I would have done before). I just said ok, we'll have to improvise and h came up with the idea that we used. Also, big 180 I didn't take the p*** out of him for his overreaction to the spiders web so his pride was intact. Although the image of him trying to get a bit of web off his nose will stay with me for quite a while lol!
