Wendylon, I am wishing you a good night's rest tonight. It looks like you need it. What is this show about anyway? "The Good Wife?" When are they airing "The Good Husband?" :-)
Good that your H and you are having family moments with the potential to bring you closer.
Really, Tori? Does what I feel sound like love to you? I've actually always had a problem with really understanding what love should feel like.

It seems these types of questions have been around forever. I heard this song on my way to work this morning. "Isn't love the strangest thing" from 1936:
Isn't love the strangest thing It makes you cry It makes you sing Lifts you up and then Lets you down again Isn't love the strangest thing
Like a birdie on the wing Love makes you feel just like a king Then another time, you feel just like a dime Isn't love the strangest thing
Love can really hypnotize you Sweep you off your feet, it's true Strange how love can tantalize you It happened to me Has it happened to you
Winter, summer, autumn, spring One never knows what love can bring Wise men of today All shake their heads and say "Isn't love the strangest thing".
Thank you tori and FY. I really enjoyed listening to the song so thank you for the link, FY.
My father and stepmother left yesterday. H is in Romania and I'm shattered. I feel as if I have zero energy. H did phone this morning to ask how yesterday went with my father. He was genuinely interested and we talked for a bit.
H also gave me a goodbye hug Sunday night (he left very early Monday morning). That's progress for us.

A hug? I wish I was in the hug stage with WAW. Wendy, hang in there, and be thankful for the hug...

Sine H's return, things have been fairly smooth. He got annoyed at me yesterday for asking him questions when he was reading. I felt a bit hurt this morning when he picked up his magazine within minutes of waking up. Apart from that, all has been pretty amicable.
Some positives: H sought me out (at home) and initiated a little chat today. Usually, he's ensconced in his study unless I go to him. He did keep it short though. He also went through the Xmas cards that I figured were my responsibility to respond to and took on a couple from my family members. I'd already given him 'his' to respond to.
We have a 20 year old Canadian staying with us. He's a friend of S17's and D15's from summer camp. We are all enjoying him. H is more of an extrovert than he realises. I think he's nicer to me in the presence of others.

You're right, Tori: I won't talk to him when he's reading. I find it annoying too.
H was really cranky tonight. He claimed that he was waiting for me to go and get him from his study to watch The Good Wife at 9. I was on the floor with the TV room but hanging out with D15 and Canadian guy in living room (which is next door to TV room). H never came up so I figured he was fine downstairs in his study. I went down at 9.30 and he said he was really annoyed I hadn't gone down sooner and that he was in too bad a mood to watch TGW. He went to bed then (and is snoring next to me). He seemed really unreasonable to me. After all, I was close to the TV room at the agreed time and we hadn't said that I would fetch him. I said, "Couldn't you hear that I was one floor up (ie TV room floor)?" He said, "There are so many people in this house, that I can't tell what's what". His excuse seemed so lame. I suspect he'll apologise tomorrow. Or maybe he'll hang on to being annoyed. I hope not.
