Hi Pam, good to see you.

Manisha, how did you get to be so wise? I have re-read your post a thousand times, I need to remember all that. Though, at times I almsot want to push him out of the house, living with the moods is so hard, as much as I try not to, it does bring us all down. But I'm not going to do anything dumb to make things worse.

He came home with the down/stone look. Wouldn't look me in the eye, only one word answers to questions. SO I ask, would you like me to leave you alone, do you want time to yourself? No. He askes, something is on your mind, what is it? So I tell him I'm only trying to make conversation and will stop if that is what he wants. He says conversation is fine, so I just chat away about the kids as trying to draw him into anything does not work.

We checked out a boyscout thing for S6 and then came home and H went to bed at 8:30 (had to go to work at 2 or so). He had to tell me 100 times he won't be here Saturday night, I just said had fun and asked no other questions. I'm really pissed about this, what is this, going to spend a night in a hotel for one night? He only took a small overnight bag, so I guess he'll be home sometime on Sunday. Where is he going to be, with whom? This seems very odd? Is this a payback for me visiting friends last weekend? Ugh. I'm going to keep my mouth shut, not going to push him out, just a bit hurt and confused at the moment, but that seems par for the course this past year.
