That might sound a bit scrambled. To explain, DH (who I want to separate from, unhappy / sexless for years, he wants to brush it all under the carpet and carry on as if it's all fine) has been away at his mum's for a week. She lives in a lovely holiday-ish part of the country, and until lockdown we have always had our family holiday there, but this time DH went on his own, which is fair enough I suppose, he hasn't seen her for nearly two years so obviously I was pleased for him to go and spend time with her. However, the first I knew of his plans was when he asked me to print out his coach tickets, he didn't check with me that I would be able to take a week off work or arrange some kind of childcare, I was just left to work around his plans. Anyway, the week without him was a massive relief. The usual hard work running the house and keeping the kids entertained, but so much more relaxing.
When he came back he asked if I had enjoyed my holiday....
... and said that his mum had bought me a present, so I opened it and it was a beautiful stained glass suncatcher, I love it. But, not that I wanted or expected anything from him, the only other things he brought back were for himself, mostly charity shop bits and pieces, a mug, a thunderbirds model thing. Nothing for the kids either. Is that a strange thing to do, or not really?
While he was away I paid to get some garden jobs done, but he hasn't said a word about contributing something towards it, bearing in mind I also paid for major work on the car the previous week. He always refers to the car as 'your car' so maybe he thinks all car bills are mine...
Another thing, if I am making the tea, which he can clearly see I'm doing, he would still rather go along to the corner shop and buy something for himself to eat, and come back with pot noodles, scotch eggs etc for his dinner the next day. Is this unusual?
I just don't know if I'm focusing in on these things, or if it's something I can just brush off. Weird, or not?
