I guess I've gotten too used to feeling rejected. I really didn't think about it until he surprised me like that. It is a good thing.
H's car broke down today. He spent the entire day working on the car. We were supposed to go out tonight. I kept trying to reach him to see how work on the car was going, but didn't see him until he came home... right around the time we were supposed to leave. He said he needed to shower. I asked him if he was still thinking about going out and he went off. He was raving about the car and the cost and the research he still needed to do. When I asked him if I could fix his dinner, he started in on how I should go ahead and go out and how there was nothing I could do to help...
He was just awful, so I asked him "Why are you talking to me in that tone?" He barked back, "I'm not talking to you in a tone. I'm just trying to get you to understand that this takes priority over anything else we're doing this weekend." I said, "I never said it wasn't a priority." He carried on his tirade a little more subdued after that; and I realized that he was probably venting more than anything so I let him go until he petered out.
He finally asked me what I was going to do for dinner; and I told him I was going to call our friends to cancel, so I could stay home and get some things done around the house. He went to take a shower, while I got dinner ready.
When he got out of the shower, he came into the kitchen and apologized to me for griping at me when I hadn't done anything. Will wonders ever cease? I remained calm and supportive. He apologized. This DB stuff really works.
