The bike ride sounds like fun and is very good for you health too.
So H came over last night for S's b-day. Regardless of if it was expected or not it is a wonderful thing that happened. Him calling you this morning to have you have S take out the "after dinner" trash is really cute and funny I have a quick question about this part...
Quote: I don't want it sitting until next week!
Was there a pause before he made this statement? If there was I think this was his way of trying to do the crawfish (you know walk backwards, as if he is trying to take the steps (in this case words) back)
IMHO I think sending H a card is a great idea, telling him you are proud of his accomplishments will really make him feel good. My H too was a victim of not getting the praise and admiration he definitely deserved. I make sure I tell XH all the time that he is appreciated.
Not sure if you are the mushy card type, but if you are have someone else pick out the card for you.
If it were me sending the card I would do something silly like get a little kids Graduation card and write the message in crayons. I'm this type of person but if your H is very sensitive of reads into things negatively this might not be the right thing to do.
I hope this helps! hugs and prayers

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.
It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
