"Dump the jerk"-sort of response, fine, but why don't you move on to the next question?
Else, read on. Assume you are me: 42 years old reasonably intelligent, reasonably attractive, reasonably emotional woman. Your mum is dying. It is quite unexpected but very clear.
You are visiting back home with the children for one week, to be with mum. Husband happens to visit the town for work and lets you know he is going out for great dinner. You suggest he may want to invite you. He does. Whole dinner takes place with 2 new colleagues. Fine food, ok conversation (your mum is dying, remember). Not a single sign of "I am with you" or "how was your day?" etc. End of evening. About to jump in cab (all 4 going our own way). Hubby finally comes closer for a sort of "good bye kiss" (and possibly "I am with you" stuff??). Mind you, the secret message is: "don't forget to ask for a receipt". This is his way of being with me, not a one off. Otherwise a chap who has qualities. Your reactions? Is it me?
