First phone call:"I love you."
"I love, you, too."
"What are you doing?"
"Working."
"When are you coming home?"
"Later. After my meeting."
"OK. I love you."
Second phone call:
"I'm sorry I'm a terrible husband."
"You're not a terrible husband." (I think: You're a C- husband. A terrible husband is an F husband.)
"I wish I could be better."
"It's ok."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"What are you doing?"
"Writing."
"When are you coming home?"
"After my meeting."
"I love you."
It's an experiment I'm doing, and maybe it's working, kind of. I didn't call him. I didn't fight with him after last night's little scene. I came to work. I'm doing my thing. I'm FINE.
If I let him work it out on his own, he works it out on his own. If I rant and explain and complain and cry, he gets defensive and never gets it. It's kind of like magic. I should write a book about mind control. I'm performing some kind of husband-curing hypnosis.
