Quote: The real test is, has he learned anything from our time apart, from his increased time around here lately and from our renewed relationship? Or will he revert to his old run-away self?
Be careful of setting up an expectation and if he doesn't do exactly how you wish for him to respond, than all the work is out the window.
This was one small incident. You were upset, possibly caught him at a bad time and he really didn't think it was all that serious and didn't pick up on how important the questions were to you. However, he did come over to check on things once learning how important it was to you.
Don't make this a test for the whole R, it was an incident, nothing more, car trouble can grate on anyone's nerves.
So instead of asking what he will do tonight, what will your mood be? How will you react to seeing him? I remember in DR Michelle talking about getting off a plane and dreading seeing her H as she thought he wouldn't be anxious to see her, but she changed her attitude and his adjusted to fit hers. So if this was any other day, what would you do? And, is a thank you for coming and checking on things in order for H?
