In a strange turn of fate, I think it was the break-in @ the house that must have awakened something in my H's head. I am living in an apt in MO working on a new project here (took the dog & cats with me), while the house is vacant in CO. After the break-in and the subsequent insurance claim, my H asked me if I would buy and send him a few things that he can't find on the islands. Since the stolen items were mostly his anyway, I thought - fair enough.
Today he called and gave me his "float plans". He hasn't done that since he departed last summer. It's like all of a sudden he is depending on me. I asked about his sailing buddies and he said he was sailing alone and that's why he told me the float plans. He will be out on the "blue water" for 7-10 days with no contact from shore headed to Puerto Rico. He says he wants back on "American soil".
So now we are talking regularly, we have plans to meet in April. Every time we talk, he sounds like the husband I once knew. But I also know that he is very much different than what I thought. His actions have proven that.
Seems like you don't really know a person until you marry them and live with them for several years, and then you still don't know them. You just become aware of how little you do know them.
