My idea to separate has been an epic fail

[Caz49]

I got a couple of texts from H, they were in reply to my financial texts.
But he also talked about how he was trying to get back but having a hard time due to the traffic across the tunnel (he works in Germany, and drives to the UK)

H hasn't shared his travel arrangements with me in a long time.

I said if the traffic was too horrendous, he shouldn't stress as the children would understand. And to drive carefully whatever choice he made.

H text again saying he had hoped to get back to say Hi to everyone. I don't know if that included me and TBH, I didn't dwell on it but I text back again that the children do understand.

Maybe he is feeling a bit isolated. H has my sympathy, working away has it's pluses and drawbacks...but it's been his choice to put work ahead of everything else. Especially me and the children for many years. I'm thinking he wasn't so snowed under work wise this weekend and had time to see them in. And maybe time to ponder a little...H has never really been a ponderer or ever made the time to do so. Maybe reality is hitting. Who knows?
