My Story - He Cheated while I was Pregnant

[AJM80]

H was radio silent after Thurs night text exchange, compared to what it's been lately. Sent one brief exchange over son's newest activity and a tax doc I needed to send. Then this morn he texted asking if he could see the kids. I said sure, since it's raining and he generally tries to come Sundays. If we'd had plans, I think I would have said no.

I stuck around to warm up lunch for D and I. Then said, no, I need car and went to gym. Then I ran a few errands, got a couple hours of time. The kids did really well and seemed happy when I got back. H is still doing laundry at our house - this time I noticed he's showered while I was gone. I confronted him - just asked if he'd had a sleepover and shown up dirty? He said no - that he'd needed a shower and baby son seemed to need one too, so they'd hopped in. It dawned on me later that he hadn't had clean clothes, woke up wanting to do laundry, so he came over, washed clothes, then changed. Whatever - I get it, our house its free (rather than 30-40 bucks)and I keep detergent and fabric softener around....using us, but I still got my free time and kids got dad time.

He stayed 2-3 trains later than he'd planned. I went and did my own thing till D was looking for me. Came down and played hide and seek with her. H was wrestling w son and locked up my leg so D could catch me. Surprised me that he was so playful.

Will keep things cool - I'm happier this week, trying to keep working out, getting better handle on "new finances", figure out job stuff, etc. This will be a weird month. Anniversary of him proposing is soon, then both our birthdays in the next month or so.
