I guess I’ll start with the fact that me and my tennis partner WON OUR MATCH! Yeah! It’s my first tournament and I was admittedly a little nervous. But we won and I won’t teach my kid this (even though I’m sure he’ll learn it on his own) it’s more fun to win! Our next match is tonight and much tougher I think.
But I won again later in the evening too.
So H was playing in his Thursday night golf league, S was at a very good friend’s house. I went over there to pick up S, and my partner joined me over there for a celebration drink. (Good friend is the one who got me into tennis.) I called H, told him I won and he was very happy for me, we hang up.
At 9:00, I’m on here, and I hear him come in. I had to duck off quickly, my heart was beating….LOL! (That's why I was MIA Stacy!)
But I thought he was going out to grab a drink with his soon to be ex coworker, this really nice guy I met a couple of times. He says “Nah, not going out. I’m tired.” I was shocked. He said he had a great time at golf and just wanted to take a shower and go to bed.
We shower, put S to bed and then ourselves. I’m re-reading “How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It”. He loves it and keeps making cracks, “So we’ll never have to talk about our feelings EVER again?????!!!! Really?????!!!! Those authors deserve the Nobel Peace Prize!” Yeah, he’s funny.
But as the night was progressing, he was getting text messages. No big deal. I was too. I really didn’t think much about it.
While in bed he gets one. I’m reading certain parts of the book to him. He was listening and chiming in a bit. Pretty relaxing.
Then he says “Alright, it’s really late so it’s either ML time or sleepy time. I’m ok with either, but pick.” I said “Sleepy time.” He said “Nighty night W.”
S comes in and wants more milk. H gets up to get it for him, and as he’s doing it, his phone goes off. I keep reading. He comes back to bed, grabs his phone, sends back a reply and turns to me and says “For the record, that’s her. She’s bugging me to go out. I just told her "Nope. In bed, not interested.”
I just looked at him, not really sure what to say and still processing. She started texting him around 7:00. He responded once “Playing golf”. She sends him a few more obviously getting irritated at being “ignored”. (And keep in mind he answered when I called him to let him know we won, and was def. playing golf! Yeah Me!) Her final text was a thumbs down sign.
But he picked me. So it went from Sleepy Time to ML time!
And the last thing he said last night…..wait for it….patience…..
