Called H to speak with the kids before they went to bed. Afterwards I asked them to put H back on the phone.

Me: "Are you taking the kids to church on Sunday?"
H: "Um, no, but I can." (What? Since our S you have not taken them to church.)
Me: "I can pick them up from your place and drop them off after church."
H: "I don't care, either way." (Strange, H is never this indecisive. No matter, not even going to waste time pondering this.)
Me: "Okay, I will pick them up on Sunday at 8:45. Thanks. (This is a small 180 for me as I used to be a pleaser and would have said something to the effect of, "You tell me. What works best for you?")
Click.

BTW - I oh so briefly considered asking H to join us at church as it wouldn't hurt for him to go find some peace either. But smothered that idea rather quickly. I didn't want to come across as pursuing.
