I'm thinking the answers are: saying no if I don't want to do those things is fine, but I probably didn't need to include the "why" (because we're not a couple, because I don't want to be reminded of this house, etc.) It's hard for me to temper some of that in the moment. I so badly want him to face the consequences of this even though I know I shouldn't be pushing that in his face. Grrrr.

Comparing doesn't help, I know.. :S.

Otherwise, this weekend has been awesome so far w/out H being involved! Had lunch w/ sis yesterday and a cookout w/ friends in the evening. Went boating today and then a bonfire at night. I'm trying to be better about accepting "last minute" invitations to do something. In the past, if a friend asked me to come over the day-of and I didn't have plans but hadn't planned on going anywhere, I'd say no because it was "too short of notice" - in my mind I had already decided I was going to watch tv/do laundry/whatever and didn't like having to change it. Now, I'm trying to embrace the invitations because a lot of fun stuff can come from spur-of-the-moment plans.
