I've been there. I know how hard it is to live apart from H. I went running back after 6 weeks of living apart b/c I missed H much. But things weren't "fixed" at that point, and it just got so much worse from there...
We've all broken down before with our partners. As hard as we try to DB, act as if, sometimes the stress and our emotions get the better of us. You just pick yourself up and move on. Don't dwell on it. Do what you are planning to do tonight- talk calmly with H; don't "react" to anything he has to say, etc. Sounds like you already know all that, but sometimes it seems to help to have it validated by others as well. And then you know what- have a great time with your sis this weekend! Get out into the city and let loose a bit...
And you know what- I'm not far from you at all. I live in south Arlington, near Shirlington. We should get together one of these days; since the DUI H been pretty good about saying he'll watch our son when I want to get out for a bit. Drop me a private message if you want- Hope all goes well tonight. Keep us updated.
