I just had am upsetting call with H. I called to find out if he'd when he'd be home tonight, so I could let my job know when I could come in. Then I told him we got an email offering us baseball tickets for Monday night.
Me: Hey, Joe has tickets for the ball game mon want to... H: (angry) No Me: ...go? H: I don't want to !$%#@ Go. Me: ok H: It's a waste of money. (it's something he usually loves) Me: It's only $30, but, I'll tell him no.
Then he calms down and asks me about an open house for S4's school today. Tells me he'll talk to me later.
I am getting it out here. Between you guys and this, I'm there. Here's what I'm going to do. Feel free to suggest or amend:
180's 1. NO R TALKS 2. NO ASKING FOR AFFECTION 3. NO ILY 4. LESS CONVERSATION - LET HIM START 5. DO MY OWN THING AND BE WITH THE KIDS - HE CAN JOIN IF HE WANTS 6. I WILL BE PLEASANT OR FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.
Mini Goals 1. for him to start conversation about anything 2. Say goodnight 3. Say goodbye 4. Ask me to watch a tv show 5. Call me on lunch to say hi
Sound like I'm on the right track?
