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?
