You are already further along that I was. I had a very hard time ignoring him because we had always talked about everything so I was busy trying to talk it out and now that I look back on it, it was one of the worst things I could have done. To this day I still don't ask about to much and sometimes he just blabs on and on while I sit there and listen.
We have had a lot of rain as well. After the kids moved out again and I would come home if he wasnt' there I just went about my evening and would only cook for myself. He didn't notice or care at the time that there wasn't anything made for him. To this day I don't know if or where he ate. Sometimes I want to know and other times I don't. What did you say when he called to say he wouldn't be home? When my SO started calling me I would say thanks for letting me know and sometimes he would say bye and sometimes just hang up on me. I hate to say this but he probably wouldn't do anything. If he asks where you were of course tell him the truth and if he wonders why you didn't ask him you can say. I wasn't sure if you wanted to go or you weren't here and I didn't know what time you were going to be here. When I would leave to go do something if he was there when I came home he never asked where I was.
