Not a great interaction between us either. I'm sure it was my fault, too. After finding out about how he was out gambling this weekend instead of even thinking about doing something with me, I was in a bit of a sour mood. I wasn't nasty to him, but I wasn't upbeat either.
He was fooling around and trying to make me laugh...tickling my feet, legs, sides. At first it was ok, and it was tickling me, but when he got to my sides, it was a painful tickle. H has never been "gentle" when tickling. He literally digs into your sides with his fingers HARD...and it HURTS.
After he finally stopped when I told him for the 10th time that he was hurting me, he continued trying to be playful by groping me when the kids weren't looking... ...It was angering me so I said, "Yeah, that's really romantic, H." H said as if he was trying to keep things light, "Yeah, I'm taking this course in how to be romantic. It's called 'Living in He** for the last 2 months'." I didn't say a word.
After a few moments, he came to me in the kitchen and said he was sorry. He was just trying to have some fun. Then I said something I probably should have kept to myself. I told him, "You know...your deadline of wanting to move back home is coming up in 6 weeks, and I'm nowhere near wanting you back in here." H said, "Well, maybe you'll never want me back period....Maybe my way of being romantic isn't the same as yours." I said, "That's not true...because you used to do it "my way" all the time."
The convo stopped there...then he went to say goodbye and good night to the kids before he left.
BTW, H reeked of smoke . He's always been an occasional smoker. If he wants to do that, fine. It's his life, but I don't appreciate him smelling like that around the kids, and since he did have them all day today, I know they had to have been around him when he did it .
....(Sigh)....
Thanks for listening.
