Quote: Don't discuss it. Make plans NOW for the kids tonight so that you can GO OUT - do NOT be home tonight - come home VERY LATE. If he DOES come home or call he'll be wondering where you are and with whom.
Forgive me as I am trying to understand the dynamics of this.
Her H was out, unaccounted for. She feels hurt, sad, betrayed and confused given the recent events.
Again, forgive me, but how does inflicting the same behavior on H make progress?
Is the thought process in H supposed to be. "wow, I went out the other night, didn't call now Left is out. I wonder who she is with or what she is doing." "Gosh this sucks, I need to get my act together and make changes."
Maybe in my very beginner understanding I'm missing a key piece that will help make sense of all of that thought process. Maybe I'm using a logical mind and the H is using some other alien mind. ??
I know that doing a 180 will sometimes make WAS do a double take. But is the double take we want them to take one that breeds doubt and mistrust?
