OK, my H is a trigger.

Simple text from him to the kids this afternoon apologizing for not calling and explaining why. He sounded sad to miss them.

It triggered me missing him.

I sent him a text explaining where we were and said I was sorry things were so stiff between us. He said he understood.

I know it's only a couple of lines but my gut said he's feeling STRESSED. And I wish I were in a position to comfort him.

I did not say I wanted to be warmer. I thought it'd be better for him to see it, especially since it's hard for me to do and it may take some time for me to get there.

See? Patience kicking in.

But man, he's SUCH a trigger for me.
