Trying to detach - part deux

[Altair]

Oh Coly,
My sitch is more confusing than ever. If anyone can make any sense of it...
We never ended up doing the no contact break. why, I don't know.

I had a long standing invite to a party (tomorrow) and H out of the blue agrees to go (What time is this thing again?). It's a work thing and my work doesn't know about our sitch. But! He's not happy, sets a time limit, says we can arrive separately if I want to stay, to let him know, he'll pick me up but he cannot stay late. All these boundaries. He was unhappy in the convo, it seemed. I tried to be light.
I'll DB, I''ll go, in and out, keeping it light. But man, is he not happy. I just don't get this.
My stomach is in knots. Why?!
