Need a fresh start...but he's still here

[lost18]

I'm trying not to have expectations...really struggle with that and detachment but I continue to try.

H leaves early Tuesday morning. I sent him a quick text letting him know something happened at the house. He responded hours later when he got home. Had a brief conversation, he asked if I got money deposited and let me know that he transferred me some. BTW, A few days before he came he had transferred me about half of what he normally does and I was not very happy...the money thing again...when he came he brought 3 child support checks to me, he did not keep the one I was so upset about earlier.

No contact for a few days, I had tried to text him a pic of his sister but it didn't go thru (sketchy service). Saturday morning I get a call(missed) and text from him, he had been trying to get in touch with D13 for a few days, was wondering what was up. After telling him phones aren't working he continues to talk about the weather and I told him what had happened the night before with his sister and sent him a picture of his sister dancing on the bar. He asked if I was up there too and I joked about it. Then I get this:

H: So why did you take advantage of me?
H: Twice?
Me: I took advantage of you?
Me: Hmmmm.....interesting way to put it
H: Haha

And that was it. He was just messing around but he's not going to avoid it.

We had another exchange Sunday (practical stuff) and Monday I texted him about our flight information (he had the info)

Me:ok...thx...you're picking us up right?
H: No...I thought you already arranged a ride??
H: I guess I can though
(I figured he was kidding but wasn't sure)
Me: Really?
H: Hahaha....kidding...I'll be there
Me: ok...thx...see you tomorrow!
H: K
H: Don't think that you'll be taking advantage of me again!!!!
Me: Oh that's a bummer! (wink smiley face)

He picked us up the next day and we had dinner, he was quiet. I asked if he was ok, he said his back was really hurting. (from being in the car).

Thoughts? Interesting I would say. Again, I'm trying not to jump the gun and get to excited but definitely a change in the status quo. He had avoided even touching me if he could. The fact that he is joking with me is good too, it doesn't seem like he regrets it...we are married!

Out of time...will follow up with what happened when I got home.
