Look what the cat dragged in! (TL) - Act 2

[tigerlily78]

So, I think I forgot to mention this before, but in passing the other day H mentioned that "the stress of dealing with me was starting to carry over into his interactions with OW." <--- Oh no. Poor them.

Today H came home for lunch, but I guess wasn't planning on staying. He didn't tell me this. I made him a salad. He shoveled it into his mouth and then got ready to leave. I asked, "Ahh... so you are running away again. I didn't realize that was the plan." He says, "Don't be b*tchy about it. I am going skating early so you can have the car for your meeting."

I say very calmly, "My meeting got rescheduled for Sunday night. I sent you a message about it, but thanks for thinking of me.

I AM trying not to be bitchy, but I am also never going to be happy and excited that you are leaving to go eat lunch and spend money on another woman. That makes sense, doesn't it? Especially when we are still putting off getting a Christmas tree and doing Christmas shopping. I don't like your priorities right now.

Speaking of which, is your work going to call me again today looking for you? It's one thing to go spend money, it's quite another to risk your job, which might mean you couldn't keep the commitment you have made to keep paying for the house." He says "it should be fine." (Pretty sure that is EXACTLY what he said last time) I remind him son wants money for a class trip tomorrow too, he will have to decide if he is going to send him money and have it ready tonight.

H hustles around the kitchen getting ready to go. I say, "You don't actually seem very happy to be going skating right now. You seem stressed. In fact, it seems like lately you have more responsibility and stress than ever before. If this situation doesn't make you happier, then why do it?"

No answer. He practically RAN out of the kitchen and out the front door. Guess I need to go around the kitchen cleaning up my spent arrows. :P
