Hi Smothy

I get that a lot from my WW (the forgetting things) which is strange because:
A) she is a woman and women never forget anything and
B) see A

It must be a symptom of something. Strange, but my memory is much sharper these days. Perhaps it's a motivational or survival thing. Not sure but weird phenomenon.

H has text to say he can no longer pick me up at the airport as he is away for work then. Feeling strangely disappointed and relief!

ironic, since DB coach and I only talked yesterday about goals for this meeting.

Do I need to answer with a validating and positive response?

NDY, this made me laugh. Maybe our spouse are using 'memory loss' to help them cope with what they have done. :-)

I think I'd just say "thanks for the heads up".

Don't want to break the 5 word maximum rule...:)

Hi Smoothy

Memory loss from my W as well. Just part of the script!

Just finished Ft with DS. Just found out an incident from him on Thurs (our Anniversary date). DS had to call H to pick up at 4.30am in the morning as he too much to drink and was feeling really ill and thought 'he was going to die'

I am feeling quite hurt and cross that H was not able to tell me about it but was ok to put it on FB. I have not snooped, DS asked me if I seen it. Told him no and I still haven't looked though very tempted.

Can I approach h about this (not telling me)? What is the best approach?
I know DS is 19. He said H was Ok about what had happened. We still share co parenting ( I know DS is an adult) but he hardly discuss anything with me that is happening In the UK, like this incident and agreeing to allow him to drive abroad. Am I overreacting, that I feel I have a right to know?

Also, now received a further text now, saying he can pick me up from the airport after all, he is abroad the following week. I can't detach like this.

Please can someone give me some good advice.

That is wrong about the drunken incident. Every youth has been through that and that's when your parents shine through.

Let him pick you up from the airport. Maybe it was an honest mistake. I'm a great believer in looking at someone. Just seeing you might make him think again. Look your best, look confident. Detach if it goes badly.

I am grateful that DS was able to tell me about this incident and call H. I wasn't upset about the incident, just the fact I feel that H is not telling me information about DS that I feel I should know.

I don't feel this is about control.

survival is about control Smothy. Is this overboard and unhealthy? I don't think so. You have the right, but your H has the right to not feel the same urgency. Expect to be disappointed by your H's actions not being what you would want, and be pleasantly surprised by the +ves. Whatever the future holds.

Pyrite!

I wonder where you'd got to. Have you been away?
