Just checking in to Idiots Anon here for a minute before heading off to work.
H moves back in tomorrow, and ironically, I just got sent on a business trip for the whole following week. He'll get to be here on his own with the kids for awhile.
He's been a bit short with me a few times recently--don't know what that's about, but the full moon this week has been making the craziness extra crazy at both of our workplaces.
I was getting a little resentful about how he would talk a bit forlornly everytime he talked about packing or cleaning. Said he was enjoying his last few days of "solitude" and that he would miss that.
I let myself get a little & said, "well, maybe you could think about how LUCKY you are to have a family to come home to and that we want you to. It could have been very different, you know."
That kind of blew him off the pity pot having to be reminded that we could have shut the door in his face and didn't.
