He's Just Not That Into You

[RegretfulLA]

Something encouraging happened tonight. I was folding the laundry on the bed and H was watching "The Dust Bowl" on PBS. I didn't see the beginning so I started asking him questions about how the Dust Bowl got started. He is into history so he usually knows this stuff when I ask him. He answered me briefly but not rudely.

When the show was over, there was a voice over that said, "For more information, go to www.pbs.org/dustbowl." H said, "See, if you want more information, you can just go to the internet. That's what the internet's for, so you don't have to bother your hubby with questions about the dust bowl."

Hubby. He said hubby.

I really saw a glimpse of the old H in that moment. He was lighthearted, joking, having a good time.

Also, he had a talk with my dad last night I guess, and my dad wanted to tell me what they said but we haven't had a chance to catch up. I asked him if I should be prepared for bad news, but he said, no, he thought it was good news. So I'm curious to hear about that.
