Thank you both:)

I did mention to H about a month or so ago about having a 3rd party exchange our D7 because we had an argument at that time. H said that was insane. But that might be something I should try.

I will look for trying2live's post. I did get the book today and plan on starting to read it tonight.

After our argument last night I wondered this morning if H was going to call me on my way to work.(he usually does). Well he didn't. So I went on about my way and about 1:00 he called.

He sounded upbeat and was trying to conversate so I kept it simple and polite. He did ask why I had not called him yet. I just said that I was driving to work listening to the radio. He is the one that calls me in the am, not the other way around so that one kinda threw me.

He had to pick up our D7 from school today since I had to work a little late and then I was to pick her up from his house when I got done. So when I got finished with work I went to his house and walked in.

He was on the phone (with a guy friend...I could tell from the convo). I told D7 to get her things so we could go. Well he got off the phone at that point and asked me was I not going to say hi.

I said "you were on the phone...didn't want to interrupt". So as I am getting D7 ready to leave he is talking a little and I am kinda talking but not looking at him too much.

Got D7 all ready and headed out the door. I was getting in my truck and he was standing at the door and I heard him say "what..I'm not getting a hug?" I acted like I did not hear him and poked my head out the window and told him to have a good evening.

Did I do that right? This is soooo hard to deal with. I wanted that hug. But I just can't live like this anymore being his "fill in". So far today he has talked to OW once. I am sure there will be more calls before the night is over but I will be reading to keep my mind off of it. Some days it totally consumes me.
