Good for Me!!!
As you've all heard me complain....I see my Hs cell phone as the enemy since that's how he communicated with OWs. He doesn't have a house phone (because he rents a room in someone elses house) and of course he has a work phone.
I always hate having to call the cell because depending on whos around, buddies, workmates, whoever...can affect the 'tone of his voice etc.' when I call....THAT causes me to get upset and leery. Sooooo last night when he called he said the usual, "Well, call me when you get up tomorrow." And I said, "what time will you be at the hanger?" And he said, "I don't have to go in early so if I'm not there when you call, just call me on the cell phone." So I said, "No. You call me." So he asks why can't you call me, you hardly ever call me anymore." So I told him why and that I'd only call the cell in an absolute emergency, otherwise our contact would be at his office number or he can call me because that way I know that he won't need to sound "weird" if I call him when someone's around. He said, " W, there is NO one ANYMORE that calls my cell except (name of three buddies) our sons and you. And you all are the ONLY ones I call." I said, that it doesn't matter, the point is I am not setting myself up to deal with his tone of voice that varies depending on who's around. He claimed to not understand but he got the message.
I have stood up for myself here...it sounds small I know, but it was huge for me.
