Back to Square One?

[Wendylon]

Thank you very much, AS and Tumbling, for writing in.

AS, your story about your MC's efforts in regard to her husband's interest in cars and your feelings about your wife's reaction to your hobbies make me even more determined to show an interest in H's interests. We do sometimes groan as a family when he starts wanting to explain something scientific to us. I'll make sure that I don't roll my eyes the next time he starts.

Thank you Tumbling for the praise re my DBing efforts. I'll try to keep it up. Actually, S13's autism is such that H might as well be around a one year old. D15 and S17 pick up breakfast on their way to school so don't go down to the kitchen in the mornings. H could do absolutely anything around S13 without any repercussions. He could even hold hands and kiss OW2 (not that I know if this happens!) in S13's presence and I wouldn't be able to find out anything from S13.

H was a bit late for supper tonight but called to say he was on his way. I think he has a soft spot when it comes to family time so I've made more of an effort to have all of us together for supper. I'm sure it's one of the things that kept him from leaving 8 years ago. He knew he'd miss out on that if he did go off with OW1.

Speaking of OWs, H hasn't mentioned the woman he took out to the theatre two months ago (having lied about it first, etc..) since that horrible day/night on 13-14 August. My birthday was 14 August and it was not a good day. I'd spent the day away from the house and was hurt and angry. H had said that if he left me it wouldn't be because of OW, it would be because of me. Anyway, Aug 14 was not a happy day so H suggested a little later that we have a retake of birthday meal another time. It is scheduled for tomorrow evening but H hasn't brought it up recently. I hope it's still on. I'm scared to ask what time he'll be back from taking D15 to her rounders tournament. He's probably waiting for me to bring it up.
