Well, H was in no rush back from his trip. Didn`t text me either to say what time he`d be home. I`d a cake made and didn`t want the kids to be up all night waiting for him so eventually I texted a brief happy birthday, will you be home for the cake? An hour later he texts back that he`d be home at 9 30.
Why wait an hour to get back to me? He was obviously on the road then, obviously got the text, just decided to let me wait.
And why take so long to get here?
But hey, I didn`t confront him with my anger. I know his main aim is to get me angry so he`s not gonna succeed there. The kids were in great form when he came home-but not because of him. We were all in party form-without him-and having great fun with niece who`s here for a few days.So he walked into a happy house.
We lit the candles-eventually- I didn`t rush around just because he was home. We even got a family pics with the candles lit-my niece insisted. I was light hearted and breezy(okay, a glass of wine helped!). I didn`t get into convo with him on his own though and went to bed before him.
We`re in the same bed now. Dunno if that will change when guestroom is vacated at weekend. Up to him to decide that.
