Birthday went great. I did what was right like Puppy said. S and I made the cake, I cooked the sirloin steak, gave cards, and presents. H was sweeter than he's been for months and months - sweeter yet. He was really happy and kept thanking us. He loved the food and kept saying how good it was. Lots of laughter, even a good long hug and let me kiss him on the cheek. He stayed off the screens!
When I undercooked the meat at first, he kept saying "Oh that's ok, no problem" and the second time around he told me it was "perfect"
He has been so critical of my cooking for the past four months this was an amazing change!
Later we thought we might have smelled cat pee (old cat.) A few months back he exploded at me about the same thing and it shook me to the core, I've never gotten over it. But tonight he was not only calm and mellow about it, he kept reassuring me, "Just sit down and relax don't worry about it." when I wanted to jump up and clean it.
I couldn't believe how mellow and sweet he was. Now if he could only stay like this, I'd have a happy marriage! lol
He's leaving on his solo ski trip tomorrow. Good news, I'm pretty sure he's solo, no OW. He's been 100% open with me about details. Also he didn't take S - which would have made me very sad to have my baby gone for three days.
Bad news, he still isn't ready to invite me along, as he had toyed with doing a month ago. Oh well. I keep my PMA and act "as if" we'll be back together and going on trips together soon enough.
