Some progress after 2+ months of DBing

[Wendylon]

Thank you, Andrew and Tori.

H does exercise but his diet is his undoing, so despite being strong he has a bit of a belly. He's also soft on himself in that he'll quite happily not exercise because of what I perceive as lame excuses. I try to stay out of that now.

H is out and has been for nearly 3 hours now. I'm not sure I believe he was with his friend. Maybe he was...

He's just come back as I'm writing this! I can hear him and D15 talking downstairs. He doesn't sound too loud so maybe he didn't have too much to drink. Or maybe he's not talking loudly because I mentioned that I could tell that he's been drinking by the volume of his voice.

I hate when he's out and I hate when he drinks... Just heard D15 ask him which pub he went to. I'd never be able to ask that sort of question without sounding really uptight and he'd respond in a really uptight way too. He just responded to D15 straightforwardly.

Tomorrow, we're having my sister's family over for supper because my nephew has his birthday tomorrow as well. Then Thursday night I'm taking H out to our favourite restaurant. Friday we're going away for a long weekend as a family and staying in a rented house by the sea. We've done this for the past few years. It's the only family holiday we go on and H and the kids have been saying that they're looking forward to it.

I often get fed up with H because he just sleeps on these holidays. This time I'm just expecting him to sleep a lot. There is no internet at these houses so I think he's in internet withdrawal when we're away. I won't expect him to be full of energy.

DBing takes lots of concentration. My thinking can quite easily take me down other paths (wanting to find out whether or not he was with his friend, thinking of how I'd word an ultimatum...)
