Rob has left the building

He is angry with me. I am sick today, slept till noon after being awake all night, and feeling wretched.

But he needed to go shopping, so I took him.

He wanted to go to the Canadian Tire store for new wipers for my truck, as well as groceries.
  
So I pulled into Canadian Tire first, and he asked why. I said, "I thought you wanted to go here first?" OK whatever, he doesn't care, he says.

But I walk in, and the store is packed with Christmas shoppers and the checkout lines are crazy!

I feel like I am going to pass out, so I head for the exit, I can't deal with this!

He says we don't have to go thru those lines, so I turn back, willing to try his way.

But now he is furious and goes storming out! Ok, on to the grocery store.

So, he is grumping all through the grocery store, keeping out of my line of vision, so I have to keep turning and look for him.

It wore me out even more, and it was a relief to get out of the store.

But as soon as we got home, he walked out, saying he was going out for a while. I didn't bother to try to stop him this time, l can barely stand.

So far, he has walked to McDonald's, and has been there for 40 minutes - according to the Life360 app.

I wish I was allowed time to be sick.

FOLLOW-UP: So, he ended up coming back home after about an hour. I was on the couch trying to watch TV since he came home, but he barely said a word to me. So still mad at me.

I keep falling asleep, so I didn't make any dinner. I told my son to make himself hotdogs for his dinner
My husband ate some pretzels and said he was going to bed at 9pm.

He usually stays up till midnight.

I've decided to let him stay mad if that's what he wants. I usually try to jolly him out of it, even apologize when it's not my fault - but I am feeling too sick to care.


THE NEXT DAY: After going to bed 3 hours early last night, he is just getting up now - almost 15 hours later. I felt terrible that I didn't even what to go check on him.

All About Rob

  You asked me to let you know what you need to watch for with Rob. I really do not like to talk about him, when he is listening. He gets upset, and then I have to deal with his anger. I prefer to keep him happy as much as possible, That can be a full-time job in itself. Since he will be in a familiar place, he will probably be just fine. Changes in his routine can get him agitated, but most of the time he is pretty good. Most of the time he is quite jolly, can be the "life of the party", which is not who he used to be! LOL If he does get agitated, he might simply refuse to talk to anyone. I have learned to ignore him when he gets like that, and he usually gets over it. Other times, he has suddenly stormed out of the house and taken off. Fortunately I have a Life360 app on my phone, that I can track him, and know where he is. I usually just let him come home when he is ready. Sometimes, if he gets frustrated about being unable to figure out how to do something he used to be a...

Melatonin

 Rob has mentioned that he is having trouble sleeping.  I haven't noticed this, he seems to be asleep whenever I wake up in the night, and I wake up often.  And he goes to bed about 11-11:30 PM, and he sleeps till about 10-10:30 AM. But he says he often lies awake at night, staring at the ceiling. So last night we started him on Melatonin, 5mg, to see if that helps.
