My H and your sound similar in what they like as far as having your attention goes. My H comes in the kitchen and does the same thing, and I used to swat him away. He also wants my undivided attention when he wants to tell me something; no going around the corner into the kitchen to check if dinner is burning. He had a period of "withdrawal" from ow. Walking around all sad sack and stuff. For awhile the ow contact continued, lots of cell phone calls. One day, I got his phone and saw another call, and told him no contact MEANS no contact! It dwindled down after that, until it quit, unless of course he got another "secret" cell phone. Although he stopped paying on the old "secret" cell phone, and it has gone to collections, and I got the bill months ago. I don't know why I haven't just paid it. I guess I will, since we are trying to get all our debt cleared up.
And like your H, thinking you would have been none the wiser if he had made up something, but like you, I can sniff out lies way better than he knows, and I am a great detective. And HE'S the cop!!haha.
It's so true about men competing, and having pi$$ing contests. It's like they are big kids sometimes, seeing who can impress the girls by doing the stupidest thing. vc
