He doesn’t want to talk about it. He doesn’t want me to come. I took Lola’s advice (thanks Lola) and asked. I think he appreciated the thought but then said he doesn’t want to talk about Friday.
He doesn’t want me to come to Tuscany, either. Well, actually I don’t know that he doesn’t. Anyway, it’s probably a good thing not to go. Too many difficulties in that. This all needs to be a more gentle introduction. I am being too selfish.
And, yet………
It’s not like he’s pushing me away. He’s just stubborn – even more than me. He’s already told me that when he’s ill he doesn’t even want anyone in the house, let alone looking after him.
He’s a strange guy, for sure.
Last night we went to see a film – Mine Vaganti. This was a really difficult one for me as all the talking was very fast and, although I had already got the plot from the internet, I missed out on some of the jokes, of course.
Then we went for a pizza at Le Specialità . We were with a colleague of his and her husband. They raved about the pizza but, at €14 plus for a pizza with ham, I thought it was overpriced – about double what I would normally expect to pay – and although all the ingredients were obviously fresh, it was not worth the doubling of the price.
Still, a nice evening and at least I did understand the film, more or less (although it was all a bit ‘done before’).
On the way home he mentions about going to his parents and that he hadn’t really made up his mind. He added that it was six months since he last saw them. I said that he should go – that he had to go, kicking myself inwardly as I said it. But it’s true. He must/should go. By doing it this weekend we keep Easter free for us. He explained the excuse he would give for going down this weekend rather than Easter. It would seem that he wants to spend Easter with me. Maybe we go to the lake or for a day out or two and lunch in a restaurant.
Either way, I think he wants to and doesn’t want to go – in as much as he wants to spend the time with me. I think. I hope.
