Infidelity/WAH, my story pt 8

[PsySara]

Some updates:

I took the kids bowling on Friday night with my cousin. WH was home when my cousin stopped by and WH offered him some take out he brought home. Cousin sat with WH and they chatted about work and then we left for bowling, I invited WH before I left but he just mumbled "No." Kids, cousin and I had a great time.

The next morning WH came to me and said he wanted me to start telling him when I was going to take the kids out because he had plans for them (pick up fireworks). I told him I texted last week but received no response. WH said he worked very hard so he could get off early and spend time with kids and came home to an empty house. (welcome to what divorce would mean) I validated but told him we both needed to alert the other about plans for the kids. He was very hard and bristling with anger, I have no idea why. But he agreed to let me know plans and I would do the same. For the rest of the day he would let me know when he was leaving and when he would be back. I took the kids to the park and we had a blast.

Last night WH bought a LOT of fireworks and asked me, "Are you going to stay inside or come watch the fireworks?" (I find it humorous that he is so passive aggressive he can't just come out and ASK me directly if I want to join the family watching fireworks. I came out a but later with the baby and watched some fireworks, the baby was nervous and kept fussing. WH asked to hold him and I took over lighting the fireworks. I got so caught up in doing it I was laughing and squealing with the kids. There was one particular one that was AWESOME and WH went out and bought some more. Eventually the kids became cold and tired so we did the "grand finale" and I took them in and put them to bed. Seems WH went back to radio silence. All in all it was a good New Year's eve, hope all my DBing friends had a great one!
