Who is this person?

[Day by Day]

Thank you Sandi for coming back to check on me. H usually gets the kids every other weekend, but he started an MBA that has him going away for 3 days a month of intensive classes. It happens that this weekend he will be going and it is also his weekend with the kids. So, he asked if it would be possible to see the kids on Wednesday after their bible study. He said he had fun spending time with them on Monday.

I replied that he could pick them up after their class and what time. I also said, "And you can bring them to the house. They feel a lot better spending time with you in our home. And seeing you these past couple of days has been very good for them. I'm so happy to see that. They love you so much and miss you.

I hope you have a safe trip to Gainesville and lots of success in your MBA classes.

Wishing you all the best,
Day by Day"

His reply to that:
Good morning DBD, yes, I can pick them up at 7:45 pm tomorrow at the Faith Formation location. That works out very well for us all.

Lots of homework and studying for my MBA. It's demanding but very good experience.

Have a great day,
H.

Brr.. feels so cold.
Yeah, it could have been pushing it with the kids' missing them and loving them, but the kids have been a bit difficult and unhappy with him (of course) and he's been concerned about our son. Wanted him to know that it's been good for them to be in their familiar surroundings. On Friday when I invited him to the movies for our son's bday, he texted me after "Thanks for the invite. It was good to see the kids happy. Have a great wknd." They told him they were happy to go to the movies as a family.

He seems to be warming an eensy bit. And yes Sandi, I am tempted to talk more. But when I postpone it and think it through I'm less tempted.

I am understanding the running away from relationships though. I'm having a hard day myself. (I am on AD anyway) But my dad is in the hospital for the 5th time this year. The family stresses there on top of my M stress is getting to be too much. I don't care anymore. I can see how my H feels. He has mentioned that I wouldn't believe how stressful his job is and he tries very hard to not show it. Add to that a heavy training schedule for running and now an MBA. Not an excuse though. Just understanding it.

Thank you for reading... guess I'm getting it out here so I don't to my H.
