When he said he didn't want the kids at some guys house, I should have said something. I just looked at him like he was nuts.


You don't need to tell him where you are going, who you are with and what you are doing.

The mystery is what has him asking questions and being interested.

Think about the basic tenets of human nature:

- We usually don't appreciate what we have.
- We usually don't appreciate what we have until it's gone
- We want what we don't have
- We want what we don't have especially if someone else has what we don't have
- We rebel against that which tries to control us
- We attribute value to things in high demand (if everyone could step outside their home and grab a handful of perfect, flawless diamonds in our flowerbeds they probably wouldn't be worth alot of money

When your husband had you, he didn't appreciate what he had.

If he thinks that someone else is interested in you, think about what this does in his head: I had her, didn't want her, let her go, now someone else wants her, someone else might have her now, did I make a mistake, did I let go of something valuable, is she something valuable, maybe I want what I had back....

Hence the interest, hence the crappy attitude, the questions, the curiousity.

Don't tell him anything, don't satisfy his curiousity, continue doing what you're doing, watch him ask more questions, watch him become more interested ;-)
