Stimulus-Response: The Experiment Continues

[GoatGal]

Yeah well...
I got the text that he won't be here Friday.
No reason.
He always wants to be here on the weekends, this is the first one where he hasn't been all over me about staying here.

Hmmmm.

Do you see me bouncing around????

That's me:

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS!

(He has a "date" is foremost on that list. Arrrggg..)

I feel like I get dumped on when he just announces he won't be coming to do chores and I have to pick up the slack.

I feel it's disrespectful.

Not sure how to handle this without creating negativity, pressure, or seeming controlling.
It's not a huge deal, but this bothers me because I feel stuck.

Now, if I knew it was work/therapy, I would bend over backwards to help.
But I'm not the built-in petsitter for his social life without me!!

I'll have to think about it.
