Hi All,

Just journaling here...

Worked late last night,(Bears game, lots of customers) I typically get home around 9 or 9:30 on Monday nights. Last night since the game didn't end until around 11:00 I ended up working way later than usual. We finally had to kick people out at 12:30, so I didn't get home until 1:00.

Just spoke with H on the phone and he sounded kind of cold and distant, says he may have to work later than usual tonight. My first reaction is, he is mad that I came home so late - he is thinking that I stayed and hung out at the bar with my friends so he is going to hook up with OW as some kind of passive/aggressive payback.

I asked him if everything was ok cause he sounded different and he replied yes, I'm just busy.

I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions but lots of times my instincts are right. How do I bring this up without sounding like I'm guilty of something and trying to defend myself?

I just feel like we are both running in circles but never meeting in the middle. That huge white elephant is still in the room. I wish there was some crystal ball where I could see what H is really thinking and doing and where we end up in the future.
