Thanks for all the replies...... and I agree, I do not think he really meant to hurt my feelings nor does he wish I would go away for ever - just on Tues & Thurs for 2 hrs after work - his personal alone time.

And I have to say that I do believe there is some deeper emotions at play in this matter as I placed it on the old emotional scale and it came out higher than it should be / rank....... meaning the situation is like a 2 or 3 and I am giving it a 8 in my reactions due to past wounded emotions that was resonated from his word - words that felt like rejection and being unwanted to me.

Tonight I am still having a little trouble shaking off this unwanted feeling - but I am trying.
