I need help with this!

So tonight I saw H for about 30 seconds, and I really missed him.

He had offered to watch the kids, so I went out with my brother and his wife. My bro and I are tight, and I love my SIL, so we had a blast-happy hour, dinner, etc.

I had gone dim all day, as usual, and H called me at the end of the day to say he had picked up the kids and have fun tonight. I said see you later and bye. He never asked for details of what I was doing and I didn't offer any.

I debated over calling to let him know that I was on my way home or just come home without calling (like he does) and possibly catch him on the phone with OW. I'm really trying to live in peace and not focus on OW, so I decided to call so that he would know I was on my way. After the snooping I have realized that the extra info only hurts me, and I don't want that. So, I get home and he is sleeping on the couch watching the history channel, which is a typical activity for him. I'm a little relieved for a no-drama situation. He wakes up, chats about the kids' evening and our two oldest come to their bedroom door and ask me to tuck them in. After that, he says he's going to go, tells me he did the laundry and made the bottles, then leaves.

I was buzzin a little from happy hour and didn't get the chance to really thank him for doing the chores or watching the kids. He left so fast! I was bummed about that. He did look tired and he does have a 45 min drive, but still. I'll have to remember to mention it tomorrow. Besides, T2L had me all pumped to meet his admiration needs, and I never got the chance! (see her thread for details).

I was also a little sad that for the first time he never asked for details of who I went out with, or where, or any other details. I was calm and cool the whole time, but I missed his curiosity. He has no idea what I did tonight, and that didn't see to bother him at all. That stinks. I hope that's not a permanent trend.

Thanks to all who have let me vent!
