Dianes Roller Coaster Ride continued... lol

Hi, Kiddo. So its OK if HE wants to rant, but not you. Interesting. So which one of you takes care of the notice? Let him do it & let him yell at them, better them than you LOL. Probablay the silence is his way of "walking away" to cool off till he's under control again. From what I've read, guys need to do this. Part of their brain wiring.

When we get stuff that's screwed up I usually just fix it & file it. I hate having to listen to him yell about whatever it is. Neither of us likes when the other one yells about something, but we both still yell sometimes (not at each other but at the problem). Stupidity or human nature? He'll walk away but now that I think about it, when he was in Atlanta, sometimes he'd clam up on the phone also. Not 5 min., but enough that I'd ask if he was still there. I thought he was waiting for me to run down, but maybe they do it cuz they're done with the subject for the moment. Hard to pick it up again when they're ready if they have to wait till the next phone call.

Besides the SSW/SSM problem - I have to tell you that you are a tougher woman than I am. I just could not deal with a long distance marriage. Maybe if I had a larger family, sisters, brothers, nearby, but even then. The occasional week of business travel is fine, but 5 weeks at a time?? H's Atlanta deal was 4 wks, a weekend home, then 4 wks & the job was done. He didn't have to do the last 4 wks. We were both glad. He was pretty lonely living in a hotel.

I hope emailing helps. Tone of voice & smiles are missing, but its better than nothing.
