As I was writing all that (above), H sent me a text, just after midnight, asking if I'm up. I replied: "Yes. How did your (shopping) adventure go?"
He didn't answer that question but instead wrote:
"Ok. Thought I'd let you know, I told OW that I'm really not into a relationship at this time. I told her that there are way too many things going on in my life, and I really don't have the time or energy to have a girlfriend right now. Between me and you, and I know you've gave me this advice, I need a clear head, or as clear as possible, to really figure out how I'm gonna repair, and to what state, my relationship with you, and all 4 kids. Having 'another' relationship takes away from that. Obviously."
I replied: "Thank you for that. And for letting me know. How are you feeling about it all?"
After 10 minutes, the message wasn't marked as delivered, so I sent a second text that read: "Looks like my text isn't delivering. Do you have sh!tty service at your new crib?"
That wasn't marked as delivered, either.
Itching to call him. But I'm not going to. Either he has crappy service. Or he turned his phone off for the night after texting me. Maybe he's avoiding the wrath of the lunatic he's been sleeping with?
Either way, I guess I'll let sleeping dogs lie - literally - and tackle another day when the sun rises tomorrow.
Whew. What a day.
