Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement
To be recognised as the Service Club of Choice in the Eastern Precinct of Adelaide because we are a Friendly Breakfast Club that appeals to a broad range of busy people who want to make a difference to local and international communities.
I thought my husband was acting weird tonight. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends most of the day, and they dropped me off a bit late to meet him. I thought he was upset because of that, but he didn't comment on it. Then, I thought maybe the noise of the restaurant was inhibiting conversation, so I suggested that we go someplace where we could talk. He didn't seem interested, but he quietly agreed.
I asked him what was wrong. He said, "Nothing". I asked him if I had done something to upset him. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, but continued to drive in silence. I can't explain his behaviour. I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you, too."
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely. It was as if he wanted nothing more to do with me. He just sat quietly, and watched TV. He continued to appear distant. Finally, with silence between us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed, but, I still felt that his thoughts were elsewhere. When he fell asleep, I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure he's thinking of someone else. Maybe he's even having an affair. My life is a disaster!
Husband's Diary:
A two-foot putt! Who could possibly miss a two-foot putt!!
