Learning to Trust Myself V

[heatherg]

Today's the day that H meets our counselor. He hasn't shown any negative reactions the couple times I've mentioned it. I had to mention it once to tell him when I made the appt for and once again last night to give him the mapquest directions I had printed for myself, his appt card and the check. Both times he reacted well. I'm apprehensive because I hope he takes it seriously. I'm not planning to ask him if he liked her or anything, I will leave it up to him to express his thoughts if he wants to. I really like her, but I've said nothing to him about her because I don't want him to have any preconceived notions about her and what she may or may not have said to me.

I called him this morning to ask him about our life insurance because I was filling out some paperwork and he didn't answer his phone which is unusual, so I left him a voicemail about the life insurance question. He called me back a little while later and when I asked where he was when I called, he went right into answering my question about the life insurance, ignoring my question about where he was. When I repeated my question about his whereabouts, he answered "None of your business" but not in our usual playful tone, like he would use if he were doing something as a surprise for me or something. I asked why he would say that and he oddly said "I can't discuss it right now". I find that odd because HE called ME, why would he call me back at a time when he couldn't talk? His answer about the life insurance was very weird too, saying that the kids and I no longer have life insurance apparently. I said "What do yo mean apparently, the company stopped providing the benefit and you didn't know anything about it?" He said yes. That isn't so hard to believe b/c the guy never knows what's going on with his benefits, he doesn't pay attention to that kind of stuff and just recently had to pay for his own glasses and contacts because his vision was changed to another provider and he didn't fill out the necessary paperwork so human resources didn't add him to the policy.
His answers were all just very odd. It will probably all make sense later. I told him laughingly that he was being very mysterious and to call me back later.

Hmm.
