H's MLC - finding compassion and forgiveness

[Mila]

Thank you being - wonder if he will ever hit the bottom....

Needed to call H about work last night....I hardly ever phone him, usually just email...but had to last night....he answered with this fake over-sweet hello....but his tone of voice changed the moment he realized that it's me....I found it curious how obvious the change in his tone was........he was either expecting a call from OW or he really puts on his depressed voice just for me...Mind you every time I see him "happy" and smiling when we are in company of other people...it seems forced and fake and not sincere...like a mask

Sent him a short email to wish him HB...he replied with a thank you...Hopefully he will handle his b-day better then he did in the past few years...he was down and depressed, very obviously having problems accepting that he is getting old...last year he even cried...

After all the Xmas pretend "happy family" activities with H, he has withdrawn...again e-mails are dry, short...almost rude....no emotions showing at all....he maybe getting himself into the SA mood...wonder when he brings it up.

To be fair, I have withdrawn bit as well, just being very matter of fact, when he emails me something positive about business, I just acknowledge it but don't stroke his ego by praising him as I always did in the past...like "wow, you did it, that's fantastic, great job"....you get the picture

Have a great weekend planned...a GF is coming to visit and will stay until Sunday...and looks like I agreed to have drinks with an interesting guy on Sunday....
