I am going out to a show that I bought ticket for myself and my friend. to see a psychic medium

Hubbie doesn't want to come.  He came to one before and liked it, but isn't really into it.

Now here is the bit.... A month or so ago, I would not have bought the tickets becasue whenever I go out.. I know he will stay home and smoke pot.  so I don't go out, because if I stay home, there is a higher chance he won't smoke pot and that is a good thing cos then he is straight.  You shoulda seen how stoned he was when I got back from a two day trip in April this year.

I asked him if he would like to come.  He said he wasn't interested and I was a little upset that he didn't want to come for a night out with me, but I just thought, ok I will take my friend.

I bought the tickets today and it only just occurred to me that I didn't even think twice about his smoking!!!!! I just wanted to go so I bought them!!!!!

Wow.... hows that hey.  Go team Linda (I don't know how to put emoticons in here)  I'm really looking forward to the show.  Its in 17 days time. 

I better remember this feeling and not start to stress and make him feel guilty about not coming so I end up forcing him into a ticket just so he will be with me and not stoned..... ooo that emotional manipulation is such an easy tool for me... be strong team Linda. (strong arm signal)

Good for you. I have to leave my AH home quite frequently for weekends. I travel with my son who plays competitive tennis and many tournaments require distance travel. I have learned to not worry about it since I'm not there anyway. Controlling myself when I'm at home around him is a different story and that's going to take WORK on my part.
