2nd time around part 2

[NotAgainPlease]

Thanks Job.

As far as chit chat I knew (from D13) that he had finally gotten in touch with the fire department he didn't pass one of the tests. That day I'd ask if he had ever heard back from him. H said no..I knew he was busy having to work extra long hours that day so I just said ok.
I wasn't trying to pry this is something we had been talking about. Then I didn't talked to him in about 24 hrs.i know not long but for us it is.which I'm trying to make longer.
H sent a text saying he talked to the chief and he'd call me later. About 1/2 he later he did. We talked about 1/2 hr. H did most of the talking.mostly about him. I fall for this thing often.
Seems he wants to talk about important things in his life on his terms. He did tell me he had talked to th chief the day before???? I didn't say I already knew I just let it go.

So I guess I'm asking should I let him talk to me about himself or not talk to him at all?
He had grounded the kids because of their grades and told me she was doing it. In fact he called me that night 3times and was mad because I didn't answer my phone. I texted back saying sorry I'm busy what do you need? He said he needed talk to me. So I called back 1/2 hour later a call back. What makes me mad is I shouldn't have done it because he would not have called me. He expect to be available right away, he doesn't feel any he needs to do the same. In fact purposely doesn't return my calls or text to make me mad. he said he doesn't feel the need to respond to me right away anymore. This is usually about the kids.
