WAH, in the thick of divorce

[ep0215]

I decided to TM H at 5:30 to ask if he picked up the dog

Me: Did you pick up Fido?
H: yes
(this really bugged me because like a fool I expected more information. I know, I know, expect nothing) (and I shouldn't have responded when I was mad)
Me: I would like for you to keep me in the loop, like I do for you

As soon as I hit send I knew I shouldn't have sent it.

2 seconds later he is calling. Immediately starts in annoyed "why would you send a text like that?"

I tried explaining that I have been worried for over an hour and would have expected you to fill me in on her status as soon as you picked her up. We talked it out and he had every excuse in the book. "I picked her up late so it has only been an hour not an hour and a half. I have been stuck in traffic" Whatever.

We ended up staying on the phone for 25 minutes just talking about random things once he cooled down. I haven't had a 25 minute casual conversation with him in 4 months. I think it was a good sign, maybe he has missed talking to me. I made him laugh a few times and then ended the call first because I had plans

I think we may have made a teeny bit of progress.
