I feel now the better thing to do was to not sit at home those 5hrs. I should have gone out had a good time and showed that I will not tolerate the disrespect. I'm trying to do that now. Funny thing is that I must admit that H was inconsiderate with time from when we were dating - but it all added up to big inconsideration and disrespect.
You handled that so brilliantly!!!! Awesome!!! They should have a DB award of the month or something, and you should win it for that!
The wonderful thing is that you are having such insight and understanding. I think most of us go through life (well me at least) kind of doing the same thing over and over again even though it's not working for us. It seems like such an easy thing to learn, but not really.
I just wish I could have seen your H's face when he realized you went to the movie and had a great time!!! Karen
