Putting into practice what I have learned...

LNL,

Well, here's my two cents worth, since you asked.

so I just said, whatever, you're welcome to come down and stay.

Perfect! Good job!

Is there a reason that H is making a big deal of things? Is he fishing to see how I feel? Is he so totally over me that he wants to make it plain that he will have nothing to do with me as a H ever again?

IMHO, this is one of those cheeseless tunnels. Why attempt to overanalyze something that you have no way of knowing right now? He didn't offer to explain, so why not ignore the statement?

I don't know if this helps, but I find it really difficult to wade through labeling Mr. Wonderful. I don't refer to him (except in cases of slips of the tongue, which catch me by surprise) as my H any longer. I merely refer to him by his name... or if it's in context to the girls, I call him "their dad".

It's awkward. And maybe he just found his own way to navigate through things?

If I get to cast a vote, it would be just to keep on keeping on. You did a great job with that answer. Just don't waste any precious time trying to figure out what he *might* be thinking.
