Thanks, SE. Update: H and I worked out this morning, nice. H came home at 7pm (worked all day today), actually greeted me with a smile (after scaring me to death--I had the Nanophones on--he's happy that I'm using the gift). In conversation, he went through what he had been doing for the last 2 hours (with neighbors) and all that he did at work, when he ate lunch, people that saw him at work, and that he had to go back in (to avoid working late during the week). I acted disinterested in his timing details, just asked things that a friend would ask...I'm not asking for a report to be suspicuous. Nice that he offered, but I don't want him to think that I need to know what he does at work to be controlling or demanding..I just wanna get away from acting like I need it.
When he left, I said "have a fun time" and he said "yeah, right, with work..." I was happy in tone, wanted to convey that if he was doing whatever, I don't care. I'm not living in a fantasy land and he doesn't need to work at creating one. We can all just relax.
After all, I've let go! Was a nice day (with all of 1.5 hours of interaction--but we're starting slow, right?). Had a nice day myself...just relaxed.
