Just a quick journal . . . cause I'm a little confused.

Communication with H (about the kids) continues to be friendly.

Then he texted me about our Visa:

H: Did you do something to our Visa?
M: Nothing out of the ordinary, what do you mean?
H: It is getting declined
M: Are you using the old card or the new card?
H: Oh, that's right. You gave me a new one.
H: OK, I'll activate the new one.

I have to say, I was impressed with this communication from my H. He did not immediately assume that I had done something evil (well, maybe he did, but he didn't communicate that to me, as he has been lately). And then he acknowledged (sort of) that it was his mistake.

No blaming, accusing, rudeness. Hmm.

I thought about applauding the 1% so I texted him back,

M: thank you for asking me about this.

His response:

H: Ha! You're welcome.

I don't think he got it. But I wasn't sure how else to make it more clear without being insulting. H, thanks for not flying off the handle and falsely accusing me of evil like you normally do?

I wonder if he even notices his behavior is different . . .
