Happy Monday! I'm back from a nice weekend with my best horses and my sister. We had a great time visiting and riding. Sis goes back home today.
H comes home today. It's been a strange week, I've missed him terribly, and at the same time haven't had to deal with him face to face. The phone calls were seldom and short. So different from how it used to be with us. Maybe he was just out of cell tower power, but it seemed he really didn't want to talk while he was the Mountain Man. He did have a successfel hunt. Sent a txt mssge now and then. By the end of the week he got back to civilization, and then actually called me a few times but not much to say. Last night he called, and we spent 25 minutes on the phone with about 5 minutes of conversation. He finally told me when his flight came in today, and wondered if I could pick him up or if he needed to make other arrangements. ??? I said I was planning on it now that I knew what time he was coming, but if he wanted to make other arrangements then just let me know. H said he didn't want to make other arrangements. Is that weird? I broke my rule about asking, and asked how his day was, how are the kids, what did you do, etc...... got one word and short sentence answers. Finally, I said I ran out of questions for his one word answers, and he laughed. He could never say goodnight, just bye or talk to you later.
So here we go, H gets back home in 5 hours. I'm excited to see him and touch him, but I don't think it will be reciprocated. Haven't had a good feeling from him over the week of his trip. Will anything change when he's back? will we continue in the pathetic way we have been? or can we make a change in this marriage and be two happy people? Again, time will tell.
