Wow, Hopeful, I'm so happy for you! You're right in wanting to take things slowly. But this is such great news and giving me a little hope, too!

Happy Birthday!

H took me out to dinner for my birthday.

What I don't get with him, he asked me where I wanted my cake purchased from and what I wanted for my birthday. I told him where to get the cake and he said no problem. Then I texted him a picture of what I wanted for my birthday and where to get it. It was just a pair of slippers. And he replie back and said consider them mine.

Well, he didn't get me a cake or a birthday present. I just don't get it. Why bother asking if you are not going to follow thru with it.

How do I handle this? Do I say anything or let it go. He was like this during our marriage. And if I say anything, how do I say it?

Any thoughts?

I would say something, but be calm about it. Your feelings are just as important as his. This is supposed to be a NEW relationship. He needs to do the work, too!

Ditto what Jenna said. He's done nothing to win you back, no changing. He's only granted you his presence and a chance to work on the marriage to win him back. Responding is going to be a tightrope walk here because if you say nothing you're allowing him to cake eat and he'll respect for you, if you say something disagreeable to him he could turn it around and blame you. How would you handle this in the past? How about posting here possible responses before you say something to him?

In the past I would have said nothing but act pissed about it.

My problem is I don't know how to approach him with this.

I could say something along the lines...

Hey, what happen to my slippers?

I don't know.
