Hi Everyone, I guess it's time for an update,it's been a while. I've got that jittery feeling again. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to try...Warning, this is long, but I sure could use some feedback.
H left last Wed. to go on an out of state hunting trip. The weekend prior to him leaving, we had been together that Friday and Satuturday night. As a matter of fact I went out for a girl's night on that Friday. I got home about 10:00 and H called and asked me to come to the hunting camp. He said there were other wives there and he wanted me to come. Saturday night we did the same thing except this time DD17 and her friend went with us. We had a wonderful time sitting around the fire and then going riding on the ATVs. He wanted me to stay at the camp with him, but I told him that DD17 would be by herself so he came and stayed at the house with us.
That following Monday night. DD and I went to dinner and had to run some errands afterwards. While we were eating H called and chatted for a while.
Tuesday night we talked and he said he thought that we would come by his house after we ran the errands. (I didn't go because he didn't ask me to come by. I'm tring to let everything be his idea and not pursue. He came over the house and stayed a few hours to tell us bye. He was flying out Wed. morning.
Wed. night he called to let me know that he had made it there. He was very upbeat and we talked quite a while.
Thurs. night I did not hear from him. Friday night DD17 had to cheer at a state playoff game which was three hours away. We left at 3:00 in the afternoon and didn't get get home until after midnight, so I didn't talk to him that night either.
Saturday afternoon I decided to call him. We talked briefly because he was getting ready to go hunt.
Sunday afternoon I called to see if he had made it home safely. He said he had and would be over later to see us. It was probably about 3 hours later that he came over. I tried calling him once or twice because our dog (yes, this will sound redneck, but, it happened) had an oppusum pinned in the corner of the deck next to the back door. I was afraid it was going to hurt the dog. I tried to get the dog to come in house, but he wouldn't so I called H. After two times trying to get him I left a message explaining what was happening. About 20 minutes later he called and was laughing saying he was on his way. DD20 who lives with him said he had been gone for quite a while, so of course I can't help but think he went to see OW.
He stayed an hour or so and left. I haven't heard from him since Sunday night. While he was at the house Sunday night.I told him that my aunt had invited me for Thanksgiving and I thought I would go because I had not seen her in a while. I told him I knew he would want to hunt so he could eat at his mothers instead of going with us. I said you are welcome to come, but I didn't think you would probably want to. The past two years I have cooked and it has been just us and our DDs. Now, of course I'm questioning if I made the right decision about Thanksgiving.
I don't understand him. He had been pursuing me, but now it seems he may be withdrawing again. I haven't done anything different. He says he's not involved with OW anymore, but I just can't help but worry about it. I do not bring her up to him.
Sorry, for the novel. If you finish reading this, I'd appreciate feedback.
