So last night he called while I was in a movie and had my phone on silent. When I checked my phone there was a text saying "I tried to call, see you later" I texted back to say "sorry was in the middle of something and phone was on silent"
He responded "no problem" and asked me to meet him at a local restaurant for dinner. I agreed. It was a nice time, although awkward at times, but mostly nice.
He briefly asked me about my counseling, and I tried to answer briefly and move on. He said "Maybe I need someone to tell me where I am off" (interesting but only he can make that appt)
He took the opportunity to tell me about a work trip he is scheduling for February. I think this was a test to see how I would react. My 180 was to listen and not ask too many questions, not have an over-reaction to the trip. He has always claimed he was afraid to bring this type of thing to me.
The trip falls 2 days after our wedding anniversary. He said he specifically requested that they avoid that date for travel, it falls on a Sunday. He also said "if we can get away for the weekend, it will be on our actual anniversary." He asked if he could plan it.
It's a long way away, and I am not thinking too much about it. I also don't want to bandaid my M or we will keep coming back here.
It may be time to call my DB coach soon. I am super confused
