He was home with the kids before me but after school I had to go get gas. I walked in the door and he seemed to be in a normal mood. And within 3 minutes asked me where I went after school? All I did was get gas so it wasn't like I was an hour late. It was like 10 minutes. Had I asked HIM that???!!! Bombs would have dropped?!

None of this happened tonight thank goodness. I was not ready for more of this type of conversation. He did end up leaving most of the night to go Xmas light shopping and take my middle boy to the doctor. By the time he got back we put kids to bed and he went out to put lights up and shovel snow. So in the end we still didn't have time together. I'm starting to wonder of he does this on purpose.

The only alarming thing of the night was I walked past the bathroom and he had his phone plugged in to charge and his jacket was in there and he like stuffed his phone on the hood of the jacket and walked out. Really felt like he didn't want me to see his phone. Whether I'm jumping to conclusions or not it was a yucky feeling and I can't get it out of my head.
