Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

Tonight-- little to report. WH got here later than normal. Instead of calling me to tell me he is on his way, he sent me a text 20 minutes later than he normally leaves. I couldn't help but think "He has been talking to OW. They got into a fight. Now he is late." I KNOW it's mind reading but it amuses me!

So he arrives and tells me he has been thinking about pinot gris on his way here. He pours us both a glass. We chat about our boy's day. I work out, make dinner. I made a comment about making chocolate cookies. He asks me if I will add cayenne- he remembered that yesterday I told him how it seemed all the cooks on the food network liked ro add cayenne to their chocolate recipes. (This is the old WH- paying attention to things I said, referencing them later in seriousness or a joke.) We enjoy dinner and watch TV together. He puts our boy to bed a little later than normal. He says goodbye and leaves.

He was here 2.5 hours; I saw him 45 minutes altogether (tops).
Nothing bad, nothing shattering.He liked my dinner, took my plate to the sink. Here is a fun overanalytical bit: I had to squeeze past him and brushed against his tush. Later, he lifted his shirt in front of me to scratch his tummy for longer than a second.

I think I forgot to add that my SIL came over earlier. She asked me if I wanted my toenails painted. So she visited for a couple of hours and gave me an earful about stuff. Mostly her experience with her exH and her boyfriend. I found out for sure that OW is not welcome in her home and WH has not talked to her about Christmas plans. There is more but I am tired!
