In my stich - My H had freedom to do as he wished - I never got mad when he took time for himself and went out after work with colleagues. I think - he put alot of stress on himself - always thinking he had to call in and get permission from me. It was nice that he did call - but I never expected it.
But in my stich - it backfired - I think he got the impression that I didn't care about him or what he was doing. Fine line.
During the EA - when I told him how important he was to me (totally 180 for me not being emotional distant) - he said he didn't know I felt that way about him !
