Husband gone for second time - 3

[Jim1234]

Happy Birthday Nicole. I'm glad the move is over, and you are now in a city with family and friends nearby. That will do you a world of good.

I think you nailed it; he's buying things out of guilt so he can feel better, but I have no idea what you should do with them.

I hope you will find it easier to detach now that there's some additional distance between you. I like that you responded that you were out and busy all day. Good for you!
