Hi guys.

As you know WH and I have been on good terms. I don't know if we'll recover and OK if we don't. Divorce is in process. I've forgiven him and am no longer angry.

He has expressed that he's having doubts and hinting that he may want to come back. BUT, Actions speak louder that Words. So actually nothing's changed.

I've kind explained how I felt about what his words and doubted the sincerity of his words. And I commented about how I don't even have his Cell # (he had it changed after we had this huge fight and it comes out on the caller ID as "PRIVATE".)And commented about other things that he hasn't done to prove that he's even thinking about wanting to work things out.

Well here's a question.

My son had been sick with a horrible dry cough. He woke up Saturday night coughing, chills, fever and weezing. I thought I was going to have to take him to the hospital but it passed and he was ok.

Well the next day, my WH called and asked how our S was and I explained what had happened on Saturday night. And told him that I thought I would have to take him to the hospital.

Well he then says, "I'm gonna give you my cell number, BUT only call me if it's an emergency."
I wrote it down on a piece of paper, not really wanting it but, wrote it anyway.

I folded it up, haven't looked at it. I haven't memorized it. Acctually I don't want it, with restrictions! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

What do I do, if anything?

Do I just keep it and put it away in case of emergency?

Do I just throw it away?

Do I tell him that I don't want it unless it's without restrictions?

Do I do anything about it or say anything about it at all?

Save it for emergencies, you might need it. Some people use cells only for emergencies, although less and less these days.

Thanks Honey for your reply!

I guess I should save it. Very disapointed though!

Save it for an emergency and MAKE yourself only use it for an emergency. I know you are disappointed but you never know if God forbid and emergency does come up especially w/a baby at home.

I used to say the same to my WS, if an emergency were to come up and no family in town, I really didn't want to drag a newborn to the ER. He said, "Deal w/it."
