Oh Gatsby, I am sorry he found reasons to be late and leave the graduation early! WTF!!! What is going through his head... not trying to mislead you but I would think he was trying to avoid you moreso than OP. i dont know... Very immature.

You sound like you have great IL's and that is going to be very beneficial to you. Sometimes I think our H's rely on their family to pick up the pieces where they left off or to be of support in our lives where they are unable to provide it.

I can understand looking at the picture and feeling nothing. Strange bc i went through a couple of months where i would think he is truly different to me. Now i just think, H is a jerk! an alien!

NC for a month! GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Obviously he it is working even if its just a little apparant. he is asking SIL about you and the birth? Not sure if its similar to my case but my H just told me how he feels like his entire family is unhappy with him (and i know he avoids family get togetehrs and parties) and that our friends have dropped him, and its hurtful. Says that he wishes people would have stayed out of our personal affairs and true friends should be true friends during times like these. But honestly, and i am rather honest with him, how do you expect anything different or less from people. maybe your H feels the same way?

how much longer til your due date? Will you contact him before the baby is born or when she is born?

keep the faith... you've worked to hard to give up now!!!
