What the heck is this?

[2Times2Many]

I guess I didn't go too far off the DBing reservation.

H replied to my text with another apology and expanded "explanation."

I waited a couple of hours and replied "It's all good."

He called shortly after. He went to more apologies and explanations and said he knew that call was bothering me. He said I knew he was trying to work on that kind of behavior and was still working on it but he wasn't there yet. He said, "I'm trying." I validated.

He told me he knew I tried not to bother him and said he also knew there would always be things we had to contact him about. He said not feel like I'm bothering him and added, "In fact, I want you to bother me."

I realize that his whole lifestyle is disrespectful to me and our M and but I feel like he can at least speak to me respectfully, particularly when he has no reason to do otherwise.

I simply refuse to be the wall he throws his plates at when things don't go his way or people don't behave the way he wants or when reality invades his fantasy life. Maybe he got the message.

Now, off to enjoy my day.
