Unfortunately, we`re way past the point of my making my needs known to H.
He`s back in his shell again. Bitter and contemptous.
Deliberately leaving his plates unwashed, doors unlocked, bin not picked up, dog unfed. All those little chores he used to do, and the extra ones he took on over the last few months, suddenly gone again.
I just don`t let him see it affects me. I quietly go about doing it all. Let it slide for now.
As for enjoying the holiday season, my plan now is to ask him if he wants to pick up presents for the kids. If not, I`ll just go ahead and get it sorted myself asap so I don`t have that hanging over me.
Last year, I put decorations up early, to get us all into holiday mode early. Plan on doing the same again. Will have open house on xmas eve for the neighbours-the kids love that-with or without H.
Pulled myself out of my funk yesterday evening. Got photos developed, bought my Xmas outfit and visited neighbour`s with the kids.
