Now what?/ One Day at a Time

[melweb]

Thanks Ciluzen. I GOT this!!

Now that I am a few days post BD #2, I am a tad more rational in my thinking. Thank goodness.

As he is on a biz trip, interactions have been thru text and only on is initiative. After the Sunday debacle, he was silent Monday. Tues evening I get a text about our house we have for sale (It has been on the market for almost a year, and causing us significant financial stress, and good ol' regular stress.)
He asks if there is any word on the showing. I do not reply,as I am busy with my life, for two hours. He says 'apparently not.' I do not reply for an hour and say "no.' He says "so you're not talking to me anymore?" I say "sure, I'll talk to you." He says, "ok, just wondering, off to dinner." I say "Have fun." 3 hours later, he texts. "I am staying til Saturday." (I am not at all surprised by this because I believe OW is there, or on her way there for the weekend.) It takes all I got not to say, Gee, really??, or Surprise, Surprise, --or something else that I cannot write here.
I do not reply (GO ME!!) An hour later, "You awake?" I say yes. He asks Why I am being so cold? (Seriously dude??)
I say I'm not. He says ok. I say "Thanks for letting me know about staying. He says You're welcome.

So questions, and this is why I hate texting, but how can I be short and sweet, thru text without it coming across cold? I am mad as he!!, but I really wasn't trying to be cold, I was just trying not to be all pursuing and such.

And also, are they usually this delusional in that he just dropped a bomb on me and I'm supposed be like, 'gee, thats ok. No worries." And go about like it never happened? Funny thing is after first BD, and I 180'd to happy, upbeat and confident, he accused me of being in denial.
