Yes, I've been a mess off and on, too. At least next week work starts for me and I will be around people again. This living in the woods alone is the reason hermits are crazy. How's IP's GAL? [/quote/
Sorry to hear you've been in a mess too. I'm off work at the minute too and go back next week. As you say, maybe we will be better when we're back at work. IP's GAL is pretty much non existent. I have no car, no money and 2 children to look after so once they're in bed I am on my own sobbing in front of the fire. Every film I put on to try to take my mind off things seems to remind me of H and I cry even more.
[quote=ciluzen]My slip up wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't sounded so annoyed when I called the second time.
And today I brought him his mail and Christmas stuff from his family. He said, "there's a check for you in my office. It will go in (the bank) faster if YOU deposit it" in front of his client and everyone in the room. I couldn't find it and walked back up to the front to answer a recipe question the receptionist was asking me about the Christmas bread I brought by the week before. He came up after a bit and kind of tossed it at me and said "it was right there on top of the shelf," and walked away. I had looked on his desk.
Not very nice. I even said hi to him this time.
But this is why I wanted HIM to deposit it AND come get his stuff at the house. No audience for whatever his mood is, and I wouldn't feel so humiliated. I was too worried about the bills I saw not being paid on time.
I would look at it that he has only embarrassed himself talking to you like that in front of people. I think I'd have said, "Hmmm, someone got out of bed on the wrong side today." to the receptionist after he'd walked away and then merrily trotted out proving it hadn't affected me. It would have affected me of course, as I'm sure it was very embarrassing to you and affected you, but I really think the receptionist was probably thinking how awful your H was to treat you like that in public rather than thinking anything other than sympathy for you.

Yes, this sounds like a good plan. Why should you be sorting this in any way for him. Sounds like cake eating. Or better still, drop them through his letter box when you know he's going to be out maybe.
