I said something to the effect of, "That's good, after the vodka thing Sunday I wouldn't be a party person either." He didn't respond, just seemed SUPER annoyed. I asked, "What too soon to make a vodka joke?" He barked no at me. I said I was sorry for the joke and walked away.
You may want to think about holding off on the jokes/teasing/whatever right now. H was probably (correctly) embarrassed about the Sunday vodka experiment and the joking (before he is ready) just brought up those feelings again. Guys can be particularly sensitive to joking/mocking...its that pride thing and not wanting to admit that mistakes were made. And we all know that mlc'ers have lost their sense of humor. I know I tried joking/teasing with W a few times to let her know something wasn't a big deal or such, it never went over well. I have stopped for now, unless she jokes about it first...keeping that road paved as smooth as possible...
The lies...*sigh*...they do that, we know that. And they know that at some level, that omitting info is still a lie, just like outright falsehoods. Patience, forgiveness. The truth wants to, and will be known, sooner or later, right?
Hang in there!
