Finally heard from him yesterday. He texted that he spent an extra day in Savannah before heading to Atlanta. What a shock. Then he said he got in late thursday but had been in bed most of friday because he thought he had food poisoning.
I just have to point out to anyone who intends to ditch their family and leave their partner with all of the responsibility that there are a few things that you should avoid saying. Here they are:
1. Don't tell the person that you "decided" or "wound up" spending an extra day somewhere. This infers choice. Choice is something we no longer have and being that you are the one who took all of our options away, we really don't want to know how you have options and be reminded that we don't.
2. No matter what the reason, do not tell us that you spent all day in bed. No matter how sick we are, we cannot stay in bed all day. Kids need to get to school. Kids need to eat. So even if we take a sick day we still have work to do. Quite a luxury to have the option to stay in bed all day for any reason.
On the one hand I am disgusted. On the other I am over it.
