It IS a lot of beer, and he usually drinks SO fast… For some reason 18 seems to be the magic number. He bought a 24 pack yesterday and there's only 7 beers left in the fridge this morning, so he drank 17 last night. It's upsetting. I should just stop counting.

He paced himself last night though and didn't pass out early. He was in a good mood all day yesterday, and we had a nice night playing cribbage together

My husband and I had talked about going to dinner for our anniversary, but it's on Sunday, so yesterday I suggested going to lunch instead. He said he was thinking the same thing, too. He told me that his mother had invited him to lunch on the same day to celebrate his birthday, but he said he declined because of our anniversary. He said he was ****** at her for even asking because she knows it's our anniversary, so it was an unreasonable request. I asked why she didn't want to take him out to lunch tomorrow (his actual birthday) instead, and he said he didn't know… maybe she had to work.

I'm getting really tired of all the mystery and controversy surrounding his family BS, and his playing dumb. I admit that in an attempt to get more clarity, I peeked at his phone this morning as he slept to look at his text messages (he gets a lot). I guess he was concerned about just that, because it's clear that he intentionally deleted large portions of conversations.
He's saved a lot of text threads, but there are no texts between him and his sister on his phone at all. It makes me wonder why he didn't just delete all the threads, and why he felt the needed to delete so much text.

But he ****ed up and didn't delete the conversation about lunch with his mother though. He accepted the invitation on Wednesday. Shortly after I talked to him yesterday about us having lunch on Sunday, he texted his mother back and told her he was sorry he couldn't make it because he forgot it was our anniversary…

He knew it was our anniversary when he accepted her invitation. His birthday's the 9th (tomorrow/Saturday), our anniversary's the 10th (Sunday), and my birthday's the 11th (Monday) and we've been married for 9 years. There's no way he forgot. At the time he accepted his mother's invitation, we hadn't solidified any plans to celebrate our anniversary, and he probably thought going to lunch with her wasn't a big deal. There is no way that he would go out twice in the same day. My take is our anniversary was not important to him at the time.

That aside, there was no need for him to mention his mother's invitation to me since he had declined it. He certainly didn't have to make her out to be the bad guy (I wonder how many times I have been the bad guy?).
For the record, I was not upset with my mother-in-law for inviting my husband to lunch on our anniversary, but had he gone, I would have been bull****.

So, he's full of ****, and that just makes me all the more curious.
