Sorry to hear the vacation didn't go like you wanted. At least your little ones had a good time, right? That's the number one thing. But I know how it is to want more. No, need more. A big vacation like that is tiring enough as it is.
I just don't get your H. But if he's anything like I tend to be (if I'm being a dumb@ss) I am just too darn ignorant of how my gender-induced blindness makes me seem so callous. I used to do such stupid, stupid things that would send W right up the wall -- I'd be confused and sometimes annoyed by her odd reactions, but I never, ever meant to convey to her that I did not love her, let alone hated her, although she obviously took it that way. (In my "mad-at-the-world" phase she would always take it very personally, even when it was never directed at her; but that's her own hangup.) Let's just say I was a stupid human being -- and am now in recovery (I hope).
You, Tal, seem to have so much better introspection, and yet I see your H is still pressing the envelope. He has got to snap to and wake up.
