WN when you measure it in weeks it sounds longer. I would have to say my WH has been gone for 58 weeks!I'd rather say a little over a year. (weird to say that)
warning- this involves some mind reading!
It sounds like your H is having major guilt- all the running around to check on the kids. I wonder if he is missing his old life at the same time...
He doesn't want to be pressured obviously (duh) about things like the future and going out to pizza with you all.
HOWEVER he obviously doesn't want your feelings to be hurt because he texted you to thank you....it's like he doesn't want you to think he doesn't care.
Yes YOU plan your life and then inform him of the dates you will be gone.
what have you done differently since 3/10 by the way?
