As far as going on dates, he LOVES the idea. Always tells me how much he misses me and waxes nostalgic about "the early days" (before rugrats) and how we used to do so many fun things together. And we did! He says he desperately needs time away from the kids, with just me and him alone. He was thrilled that I was planning a date...I told him last night that I would tell him today what I had planned..that I had to contact the sitter and make sure we were on.
So I don't think that he views anything that I do as a power play (with the exception of how I sometimes go about stating that I need sex )
I think he is just a PITA.
I just sent him a message with this sentence:
You can either plan the dates and make the kiddie arrangements; OR, You can leave it all up to me and shut the hell up.
You do not have the right to sit back and do nothing, but then complain/cancel when I do things. Love, Hpot
Oh wait! Are you saying that my power play comes in the form of thinking that it has to be him or me planning it and that it should be a joint effort? Hmmm, that makes sense. I would love that; any form of interest on his part usually buoys me completely. I just have to steel myself to deal with King Nitwit when he freaks over every little detail of my ideas, all the while he sits there with no ideas of his own.
Ooops there I go telling the world what an idiot he is again.
