Well, Friday no laundry got done, but lots of talking did! No enforced Alone time either!! Hey, I read "validating" and "invalidating". OOPs, don't be logical with emotional beings. As Spock found out-doesn't work out!

Had a great weekend. Am realizing that I need to be on the look out for warning signs. And I am seeing them sooner. Why is this a problem? What am I missing? two questions I have to ask him until I get an answer, then not let him get all passive aggressive (lack of better term) if the net result will be a worse husband and a ruined day. I.E. he ran out of scripts that he needs. We had plans and I thought going to one store by car- that would save me walking back to one that is closer to home- would be easier. Except we would not get home before pharmacy closed. He had shorted his script the night before, had not taken it Saturday morning. Instead of saying all of this, he started acting out. We were going into one store as he had planned. When we came out, I stopped walking and forced the conversation right there. Then said, no-I will walk to the store closer to our house, I was just thinking out loud when I said the mall one; didn't reallize you were out of that script and I don't want you to have seizures. So lets continue with plan-lets go home to get scripts....etc. It worked, Day was Saved! The rest of the weekend was saved. I just need to do this all the time. It is hard to remember-I am human to and I know that I will need time down. But it is working. He just is like a little kid with needing attention. MY attention-the fear of me leaving is never ending-and I don't think it will ever leave him. From what I have read, it may get worse.

I do have good news. Went through my closet. With him. I filled a blue plastic tub with clothes that I have undergrown!! There are some hanging that in 5-10 lbs will be too big. That includes the suit I had tailored down to fit me for my first day here!! The jacket made me look "sloppy" according to hubby. Clothes that had jusssst fit, fit me great-told hubby he had to take me out now. He agrees.
