It was?! (thanks btw, CE) I thought he was trying to get me to feel sorry for him because he made his stomach hurt. I guess I misread that one completely. I think there needs to be a "google translate" that translates what men say into woman-speak and vice-versa.

Wow. Really? I wonder now how many other times he has apologized without saying the actual words "I'm sorry." It honestly never occurred to me, I guess because I tend to say I'm sorry way too much. Hoo boy my t was right that one time when I said to her "Why is it always me that has to change?" And she said "My dear, it's always us." Meaning of course that the only person I CAN change is me.

Thanks again, CE, for your response, you may have just helped me in a really big way without even realizing it.
