I'm giving myself an ATTAGIRL!

My newbie recovering AH is on a business trip and was due back 8 hours ago. Before he hung up on me last night, he agreed to be home in time to watch our kids so I could go to a rehearsal. When he didn't arrive on time (or yet, now 10 hours later), he fully expected me to call him.


I DIDN'T!

He sheepishly called right before my rehearsal started and I acted as if nothing was wrong. I said that the kids and I were going to rehearsal and we'd see him when he got home.

You could just see the pee running down his leg.

ATTAGIRL TO ME!

yes, good job. That is hard to do, to not CONTROL him, but instead take control of your own life.

There would've been a time not so long ago that I would've been upset that he 1) didn't have any common courtesy to at least call me and let me know so I could get a babysitter - or - 2) enabled him to be mad at me for being mad at him.

Oh, and I went one step further. When he *did* arrive 11 hours late, I had already closed up the house and was asleep. He called and I said sweetly, "Yes, the back door is unlocked. If you use the garage door opener I gave you last month then the back door is open and the kitchen light is on so you can see. " Hmmmmm, then he had to come clean and say that he "forgot" the opener so he couldn't get in the house and would I please come and open the door?

I did go and unlock the door but I did so with my robe half open so he could see my new set giant set of shiny brass balls.

SUCKA!

Ha ha ha!! You are a star! I got some of those brass balls recently. Once you get used to them, they are very effective I find!

Congratulations on not letting him get the best of you! I am new to this forum and so thankful when I read a post that really hits home for me. What you said above has really made me stop and think about how I am reacting to my own AH...the anger, the name-calling, the empty threats, etc. He always uses my own anger against me.

Your success is my inspiration. I will not give him any ammunition. Well, I'll try at least!
