Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

ok, so I was talking to my friend and brought up the fact that I'm not going with WH to see his mom tomorrow but wasn't planning on telling him until tomorrow. She said she hated it when people flake out at the last minute and thought I should tell him today. That way it would seem more sincere, too.

Before I left, my SIL sent me a text asking if they could come over to give S and I our presents. I replied that it was very sweet but I was going to my dad's today but WH would be bringing S over tomorrow. She said she didn't know that!

So I was running late to meet him at Taco Bell (I HATE being late! Even if he runs late 60% time on his mornings to come here) and let him know I would be about 5-10 min. late.
When I arrived, he let me know the details about when he was fed, etc. then I told him how I had almost finished cleaning but still had more to do,plus tomorrow I needed to run errands and exercise so I won't be able to go with him to his mom's. He seemed unpeterbed and just said "yeah, I better call them to see if they'll still be in town" !!! So he never solidified plans which means he would rather not see his family, even on Christmas, (he's not that close to them...they are very different but at least he has always made the rounds on holidays with me joining him!) most likely due to avoiding confrontation because of the amazing, fantastical, sex oh I mean soul mate OW.
