Do what I can but still have questions 3

[soccerwife]

I sent H on a golf outing with a trusted friend, who knows our sitch. Before he left, I tried to fill his love tank a little by telling him to show no mercery and kick A$$. He did our good bye ritual without a sour look.

Then something interesting...he mumbled under his breath that he will probably lose because he can't do anything right. WAH? That is something new. Is he having remorse at the thought of failing at marriage and relating that to having a bad golf day? I can't read minds and I really didn't want to ruin the positive things I said moments before by encouraging him to elaborate on what he meant.

When he gets home I will say some more nice things and be very inquisitive if he was the better man on the green today. Better yet, D5 and I baked an apple pie and we have a yummy dinner planned.

The only hurdle will be getting through tonight after the kids go to bed. I want to avoid D talk for sure. H is a teacher and started back to school last week, but tomorrow is the first day with students. If he starts in on D talk, I will do my best to listen but not provide input so that we can get to sleep. Hopefully I won't have to type more here today.
