Good morning! I'm back at work! I'm actually glad to be here, yet procrasitnating a bit....
Yesterday, H gets DRUNK. We were supposed to go out for dinner but he was celebrating his victory and the fact another buddy got a hole in one. (Big tournament this weekend, H had fun obviously.)
Around 3 or so, I get a text from H, before he's bombed that he's going to be home around 4ish. I decided at that moment, it's going to be a miracle if he's home at 5. No biggie. Still had stuff I was doing post vacation.
At 5, I send him a text asking about dinner. I get one in response that basically says "I'm drunk." Very short statement, lots of misspellings none the less. I text back that we will meet him up there for dinner. He says, I think "Good idea."
Before we get there, H calls me and says to meet him at his place, about 30 seconds from the club. I said OK. He announces he super drunk and I ask Why are you driving? He says it's ok because a buddy is following him. I won't get into it, but this makes me crazy. I wish for so many reasons he wouldn't do this, but.....I say nothing but OK.
I beat him to his place by seconds. Indeed his buddy did follow him home to make sure he was ok.
Now I'm going to abbreviate. H was more drunk than I realized. He proceeds to puke up his body weight. S and I go to get some pizzas. We get back, he's passed out on the floor. I get S situated and get H a pillow.
Little bit later, H wants me to talk to him. So we talk about nada at first, then he goes on with "I don't like anyone but S." I said "Great. Do you like Friend?" H says "Nope, hate him too." I asked "Do you dislike your mother?" H shocks me with "My mom is pissed at me, so I'm pissed at her. So no, I don't like her either right now."
H is very very close to his parents, esp. his mother. But the fact that he said they are pissed at each other is huge for me, I hope in a good way. H has spent many months bad mouthing me to them to justify his crap and he said it was his parents who forced him to get his own place and are paying for it. He said they were the ones pushing for him to file. I'm not mad at them since I know they were lied to and not told other important facts, such as things related to OW.
I asked H "Is she mad at you because of me?" He said "I don't want to talk about it." So I said "Do you like the mayor?" And so forth.
Later, he tells me "You have to stay here. I shouldn't sleep by myself." And he was actually being serious, there was nothing seedy or underhanded about it. He drank way too much. I said "Sure, let me go get some things and walk the dog."
When I got back, he snuggled up to me and went on for a good bit complimenting me. I complimented back and he said "Stop...I'm not fishing here. Let me talk." So I did. He said several times again "(compliment)....but I don't like you." So I finally asked "Ok, why don't you like me? The feeling is mutual, but seriously, why?" He would giggle and say "It's a secret.....but I don't like you."
Eventually, on his own he said "I'm just waiting....I'm waiting to see when the crazy comes back....I'm waiting."
So, I guess I got challenged......
And today, for the first time in MONTHS, he called me. To see how I was, how S was.
