After almost 24 hours with no comm from him-- (I will not initiate, especially after he was snippy with me, and I can hold out a LOT longer than he can!)-- I just got a flurry of texts from H.
(GUBU has vanished for the moment and H seems to be back. I guess I should enjoy it while this "personality" is "out".)
He says what time he's leaving work, what time he'll arrive, asks if the tree guys came.
(They did NOT, to which he responded "j*rkoffs!" so there's a bit of that nasty. He loves to cut other people down these days)
I respond all happy and funny, just upbeat, not mad at him.
He then volunteers that he has a specific event on Friday and has to be there later than he'd said because this specific co-worker is on vacation. (Easily checked, I know her. Not that I would need to, but he knows I can find out if he's lying.)
He was going to come home early to cover for me so I can go to a weekend dance/music jam with friends in DC.
So--he's essentially saying: "Sorry, I'll be late, Here's why and it can't be helped."
That's all I'm asking for and I got it. I did NOT let him bait me when he got irritable. Yay, me!
Positive reinforcement from me--I mean "Stimulus" : "No problem at all, I can leave later and I'll take care of everybody."
(Note: I did NOT say, "Thanks for letting me know you're not out chasing women and telling them you're single..."!)
Rapid response and to the point.
No--he didn't push my buttons yesterday....nooooooooooo........
Nothing gets to GGG!
Only you DBers know the TRUTH!
