I have a slightly different take on his struggle with power cords yesterday. I set that room up so nice, there was nothing for him to complain about. Seriously. So he found something.
I had no intention of even talking to him this morning. But he didn't leave for work on time, and I finally came downstairs and I guess he was waiting for me, to talk/spew a bit.
It was funny. He said: "I need to apologise in advance. You are probably going to get a bunch of those anonomyous texts and emails from (OW's Name).
She is done with me and broke things off completely. Funny thing is it was because of you taking the master bedroom. She is mad at me because I'm not man enough to make you move out of that bedroom.
She said I could never be man enough for her if I can't control you. So again, I'm sorry if you get those messages today. Also your predictions of my ending up alone seems to be coming true. You were right."
I said to him I was sorry. I told him OW was stirring stuff up on FB. And for some odd reason, with tears running down my face I grumbled at him for feeling sorry for OW having to do CPR on her neighbor, but never saying one word to my poor sister when her H died and she had to find him in the garage and do CPR on him.
I didn't bring up our relationship issues at all. I didn't try and talk about us. I said goodby, and tried not to laugh at his parting shot as he walked out the door.
He said: "I will probably get fired from my job today for the trifecta of failure."
OH MY! Poor, poor, pitiful him! I am not backing down. I am keeping us separate. I do see how much work he has to do.
I will see the positive things: HE admitted she was behind the anonymous crap. He said more words to me this morning than in awhile. He might be seeing results from his own actions. He seemed concerned about her actions to me.
My current plan: Not speak unless spoken to. Keep on making plans for my future alone. Finish staging house/get it on market. Be out at night more than in.
Aloha,
