He's Just Not That Into You - The Sequel

[mamabird]

Wendy - we LOVE Downton Abbey! It has become quite the sensation here in the US. My H said, "It's like porn and crack for Anglophiles." I worked with the BBC for years in my last job so I definitely have a soft spot for that stuff.

Anyway,

Just remember that you should be looking to start a new M with him, not to revert to how things were pre-bomb. You want to start fresh.

This is a great perspective and I will try to remember it always.

I wish, however, that he were in that place. Last night I was looking at some photos from earlier in the year and I came across some of him and the boys hanging out with some friends of ours on our trip to NY in May. I didn't go to see the friends and I couldn't remember why, so I asked H why I wasn't there. He said in an angry tone, "You were SHOPPING, remember?"

Honestly, I didn't remember that part of it, and he never expressed any sort of disappointment or anything that I didn't join him and the boys, and we never discussed it. It was like just asking him the question made him feel the feelings all over again, whereas I had no recollection of the event at all. Talk about coming from two different perspectives. Kind of weird but I guess this is what I can expect. Random angry outbursts.
