Former desparate mom
I'm sorry for all the losses you have had in recent weeks. It seems correct that he hopes you will leave so he is not the bad guy. I understand he isn't terrible or a burden to live with but people change over the years. We never know what we or they will change into and he seems to have an excuse for everything.
The timing of this little escapade may not be a coincidence. If this is when you need him the most and he fails miserably then he thinks you will leave. Pretty manipulative. He does sound needy. He wants you to be excited he called???? :hammer:
I'm a big fan of compartmentalizing. Put this to the side until you deal with dad and all the emotions of a very ill mom and her death.
By the time you are ready to deal with husband you will be cool, calm,collected and lethal. :thumb: Lying is a scummy thing to do.
Hugs for you all around. It's been a crappy few weeks.
