Puppy et al- Is it possible to do too good of a job GAL-ing?
I was on a trip for work Monday & Tuesday - got home late Tuesday night. Wednesday night I had my IC appt - home by 7:30 pm & Thursday I went out to dinner with my best friend and my niece for my friend's birthday - got home at 9 pm. I'm leaving tomorrow for another work trip Monday & Tuesday but I'm staying all week and coming home on Saturday because my brother and his partner live there with my 3 yr. old niece. So I'm staying with them and having a good visit. I'm really looking forwarding to playing with my niece.
So last night my H and I went out to dinner and he's been distant doing his moping thing that he does so well. So finally he tells me what's on his mind. Get this - He says I really didn't discuss the trip with him. Did I even consider that he might want to go with me? Sure we've been to the lake and went away for our anniversary but we really haven't had a vacation together. Now mind you - he and my brother don't get along so the thought didn't even cross my mind. So I simply said I'm sorry it didn't cross my mind because etc....
Then he tells me all the positive changes I'm making are for me. Yes they are. How are he and the boys benefiting? HUH?! Making positive changes is all well and good but it seems to him that I just come and go as I please - it's all about me and I need to remember I have people at home. Oh yes - and I really didn't discuss meal planning with him so he didn't know what to do about dinners last week. I didn't even know what to say to this.
A little venting now...OK - so from April through July - he went to the lake every weekend to "think", he talked to the friend for hours on end, got in the middle of the friend's divorce and pretty much just hid in the basement and did absolutely nothing around here! Give me a break!
