I don't understand him.

I don’t understand people. I don’t understand men. I don’t understand him.

He, a long time ago, was supposed to go to Las Vegas. For a softball tournament.
He had an issue with one of the people that he was supposed to go with, and decided that he was not going.

Fuck it, I remember him saying. . I agreed with him...
This was 3 months ago

“Don’t go..” I said. Not for any other reason than being supportive of his decision, and based on the reasons that he gave, and the potential for drama.
I don’t care what he does. He would go no matter what I said anyway. I thought for a minute that he would change his mind. But then again, knowing him, mind changing is not usually an option.

So tell me why..WHY does an “acquaintance” of ours and I mean acquaintance – come to my desk and tell me how she loved the pictures from his Vegas trip the he emailed her..

HUH? WHAT?? What VEGAS TRIP!?!

I smile and play it off..I don’t want her to know that I have no idea what the fuck she is talking about. So, I start thinking about when this trip could have been…

He didn’t really have too many words for me the week prior…He left early on Thursday, and didn’t come in Friday. I knew nothing of these days off…which usually, I know when he won’t be at work, and where he will be. But he called me Friday night..he told me he was headed down the strip to get something to eat. (Did he mean the VEGAS STRIP? LOL!!) He never mentioned that he was out of town.

I talked to him a few times on Saturday. I asked him if he was home, and he said no. But he never said he was in fucking VEGAS either. Me not being one that asks a lot of questions, I just kept it moving. I talked to him Sunday, and he told me that he would not be at work Monday...I swear, I thought nothing of all this..just a stressed out man trying to get some R&R and perhaps take care of some personal shit. It is not even that serious.
BUT WHY LIE BY OMISSION??

Yeah, Yeah, Not really any of my business…I know that…but when I asked him why he didn’t send me pictures of his “trip” he got pissed off…

I don’t think I will ever understand him. Never.
