quietly watching....need help

[gardengirl72]

Thank you Number 8

Just home from wrestling tournament....nephew won both matches...goes on to tomorrow....the least he will place in the next two days is fifth!! It 's pretty good for a sophomore to take a place on the podium at State....I'm very proud of him and all he has accomplished!! His parents would have been so proud of him too!

H did not show up. However, I did wiegh the facts on whether I should call him or not after Nephew won his first match. I decided to call, because I wanted to rub it in just a little on how good the match was. I was very pleasant and upbeat. H had been drinking was very 'happy' almost to the 'manic' point...I sometimes wonder if he is bipolar. Said a friend of ours (someone he has just recently started calling again) had already called him. I said, 'ok I'll let you go.' H said, 'no, no that's ok tell me how he did.' I told him and then tried to hang up and he kept asking me questions. I finally said I couldn't hear and needed to get back in. He said call me and let me know later. I said ok.

I called him when I got home and again chatted pleasantly...he said he might come down and watch him wrestle tomorrow, but, didn't know about tickets. I said we just bought ours at the door and didn't offer any more info. Nephew won't be wrestling until tomorrow night at 7:00 (semi-finals)...which means about 7:30/8:00 for his weight class (160)....which in turn would mean another 2 hour drive back up north for H after that. H would have our dog with.

So, herein lies my dillemma...should I tell him it is ok to bring the dog home?? (he was going to leave her in the truck...we live in the midwest and it is very cold here...she's a house dog) I miss her terribly and I must admit, when he left he tried to make me take her but I didn't cause he was pushing her on me. I think he was waiting for me to say it was ok for her and possibly him to stay here. He will never ask as he was the one to leave. He said he will call and let me know tomorrow what he is going to do.

What do you sugest I do?

While in the city, I did stop by a bookstore and picked 'The Divorce Remedy' book which I am going to start reading asap.

Oh, and Number 8, I know exactly how you feel! (the last line in your previous post)

Thanks again for listening, gg.
