Maybe I feel a bit angrier than I can recognize.

I'm finding myself thinking of things to say to him should he recall Sunday that he was supposed to have called me. Things that could only be described as thinly veiled hostility.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I had no real notion that you would call anyway, regardless of what you said."

"It's ok. It's not like I care as much as I used to."

"Hey, don't worry about it. I could use the extra $5000 a year from seeing you only once a week."

"You abandoned me for six weeks. I think I can manage one with no trouble."

"Oh goodness, you've done worse than *that*. Remember postpartum?"

"It's just as well. If we have to move, I'll be lucky if I can manage to see you once a week. Weaning off is probably best."

"Don't think twice about it. I laughed and laughed, thinking of what you told me Sunday about forgetting things you didn't feel like doing."

"Didn't you call? I didn't notice."

"It worked out ok. I didn't really feel like bothering to drive fifteen minutes to see you. I like to relax in the evenings."

"No, no, I'm glad you didn't call. You know I'd been worried about how attached I was to you. It's so thoughtful of you to help me with that."

"Oh, you poor thing. When you didn't call, I realized that you must have just been swamped with your new job." (followed by a statement with just enough invitation that he could choose to tell me all his troubles if he wishes to, poor dear.)

Anyone care to help me with some other passive aggressive comments that he just won't get?
