Hi Eagle,

Reaction was interesting. My dad said he thought something was as going on. My sister just asked what’s I wanted to do.
It was a lot for me to talk about it, even briefly.

There is relief. Where I would not tell people what I did alone as to not cause questions, I feel like it was my “Independence Day”.

What caused all of this was my cousin, who we have not seen for over 8 years, was in town. We found out at the last minute, H had already left for the day. So I texted him asking if he was around, my cousin was going to visit my parents.

H replied he was at the beach. So I made the decision, that I really wanted to see my cousin. So I went over. I ended up having a great visit, and when he and his wife left, my family celebrated the fourth.

I came home around 5:00. He was home watching a movie with a friend of ours. When I walked down in, H asked if I went to my parents. Then he asked if I saw my cousin. Both I just answered “yes”. He then left the room, and our friend watching the movie and went outside to hose off the lawn? Weird.

The movie finished, I said goodbye to the friend and H went to bed. 6:00 pm.

I was hungry and went to get food. I came home and was eating and he walked in basically to wash his hands? Then he went to bed. So he was definitely checking to see what I was doing.

It got very loud here with fireworks and we have one dog that doesn’t care for the noise. I took the dogs into the bedroom and had the tv on loud and finally got her to relax and sleep.

So, I am glad I finally told them, I asked that they keep this to themselves. I do not anticipate telling anyone else for a long time. I almost feel like H will see this added confidence I have now knowing family knows. He won’t know why, but I feel different.

Thanks for checking in.
