Ok, I gave my H an invitation to a "private" party tonight...happened to have an old kid party invite with aliens and the line "out of the world" on it, which hopefully will prove appropriate. I thanked him for telling his brother NO last weekend and told him that it meant a lot to me that he would do that for US. I also asked if it could be "my turn" tonight and included a smiley face. He said OK this morning so hopefully things will go better this time around.

Wish me luck!
