I told a friend of mine that I've decided to "drop the rope" with my H and she asked if that meant I was ending the tug-of-war. I haven't heard it described that way but it made me think that if it was a tug-of-war and I dropped the rope he would land on his butt.
Anyway, H called this am to say that I could come to his office and pick up his paycheck tomorrow. I don't think he gets that fact that even if I do deposit it immediately some of our bills are going to be late because I was anticipating direct deposit not waiting for a check to clear. He just has no clue how things work.
Then when I asked what he did with all of our screwdrivers he got a little pissy. I wanted them to fix a few things and found they were all missing. He is not handy at all and I do any home-related repairs so it was boggling my mind to wonder what happened to them. Turns out he lent them to a coworker.
This whole interaction with my H has left me irritated. And now I'm going to have to drive into his office tomorrow if I want to have any money. This dropping the rope and remaining positive is going to be hard work. But, I'm going to end on a high note here. Though our conversation could have gone better he was the one who called me.
