Why is it so hard to behave the way I know I should?

H is having a hard day. He said he is looking forward to his business trip because he feels like there is a lot of tension at home. I think seeing me reminds him that he has to make a decision and that he doesn't know what he wants. He's being a little cold.

I find myself wanting to temp check, which I know is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

i can't make up his mind for him. I just need to give him space and time.

Why is that so hard?

Do you think he will notice if I put duck tape over my mouth? ;-)
