It was at best a blah sort of day. NG was still not feeling completely recovered from his chest infection, and got quite busy with work on the phone. A mutual friend invited us out to lunch, NG said 'we'll see' which meant leaving her hanging on, and as I wanted some time out anyway, I went ahead and confirmed. I have to confess, his habit of 'hedging his bets' like in this case sometimes really winds me up. But, I think I'm learning how to make an offer, if he is not keen, I just move on. I know he was surprised I decided to pop out to lunch anyways, and I did bring him back his fave pie
Over tea we got chatting about the dinner party we are hosting this Sat night. I ran through folks from my part of the list who have confirmed and asked NG how he got on with his. He said he was waiting on one couple and that was it. Now, one of the other folks on his list did ping me to say she could not make it, we happened to be emailing about a work related issue. NG does not know she was in contact with me. I asked NG again if he had invited anyone else, and he said very clearly NO. Now, why would he choose to lie about something like that I dropped the subject, but really could not get the confusion out of my mind. And of course, it only served to remind me of all the other lies. Net result? I was withdrawn for the rest of the afternoon, while he drove me to the airport, and parted ways
So here I am, in this beautiful hotel room, anxious about my meeting tomorrow, and now, anxious about what else is going on that NG is deceiving me about. Yuck
