I think you did great not reacting to H's line about not being there anyway. Doesn't he get tired of giving you the same threat? Hasn't he figured out that you're not bothered by it?
It sounds like you had such a great evening otherwise. Your little guy is riding without training wheels? Wow! My little dd is still riding her tricycle but actually rode a bicycle with training wheels the other day. We may just have to upgrade her bike!
Quote: I do ask H how is day is, how work went, etc. I am doing the right things in showing interest in H's life, his job, and he does share with me at certain times. I do my best to thank him for the things he does.
This is helping me detach from H
Same here! I'm finally seeing that you can care about somebody, show interest in their life and yet not try to live their life. Yup...it's taken me 37.5 years to learn this.

In a way isn't this what happened when H says "it just happened" yes maybe it did just happen, but it doesn't make it right or that you're not going to suffer the consequences. I hope I stated this clearly, it makes sense to me, but in writing...well...?
I never thought about it this way , but it makes perfect sense!
I was thinking about you the other night. I was thinking that I just love your wit...you must be a lot of fun to be around.
Hasn't he figured out that you're not bothered by it?
