H called to ask how we're doing on household stuff and if I needed anything. We're really struggling financially with him having to pay rent to the people he's staying with, so he wanted to make sure we didn't have to be spending a whole lot of money prior to payday. He told me that he has to go get the oil changed on his car today. He went on to complain about what a horrible weekend he had and that he hasn't been sleeping well. I told him I was sorry he's having a rough couple of days and told him that I am here if he wants to talk. He said there's nothing I can do to help. I told him the offer stands. He offered to pick up the things we need from the store while he's out getting his oil changed. I told him if it would make him go out of his way, not to worry about it. I also added that we were going out this afternoon, so I didn't mind stopping by the store while we're out. He asked what we are doing, so I told him (signing up at the YMCA for the military program he told me about, going to the library, going to the park). He said if I can get by the store myself, it would be better. He said his mind is just all kinds of "fuckered up right now". I think I did well. I was chipper, but caring/concerned. I feel really bad for him right now, as he seems to be in a really dark place. I wish there was something I could do to make him feel better. I hate seeing him like this. But then again, maybe his being unhappy is kind of a good thing. Maybe he's missing me/us. There I go trying to mind-read again lol.
