Thanks, Maybell.

Need to vent for a minute. A few weeks ago, H sent me an email about schedule: June 22: I am busy that evening. I'm happy to try to switch things around a bit that weekend if it helps -- or you can just be with her the whole day. Up to you, assuming you're available.

I agreed to take D3 for the entire day Sunday, and asked him to come another evening in exchange. He said he didn't think we needed to think of it as one-for-one exchanges-- that we will both just be flexible whenever we can if the other person needs it. I just texted him to ask him to push back our switch off time by 1 hour today, so I could get a bit more work done.

He said, 'can we compromise, and I'll come back a half-hour later? I have plans.'

I am letting myself get all worked up about this. I know I need to detach. But man, this is frustrating. I mean, seriously? I guess he is setting a boundary (I can't change plans last minute), and I can only blame myself for not setting my own boundaries...right? I shouldn't have any expectations from him.

There is no response that is appropriate besides, "Sure, that would be great." RIGHT??

Deep breaths.
