Okay I’m confused. I was closing the curtains cause it’s getting dark and saw my husband sitting in the car on the other street.

I thought he was at work and he usually texts me when he gets off work, like 80% of the time so I was surprised to see him.. and the fact that he was on a different street sort of hidden from our house.

We have a bright red car so it’s easy to see.

I waited a while, curiosity finally got to me so I called him.

I said hey what are you doing

He says

Just hanging out

I say

Why have you been on the other street just sitting in the car i saw you when I closed the blinds and I was surprised

He said

You can see me?

I said

uhh ya

He said

I’m just hanging out before I come into the chaos

(We have 3 boys)

I’ll be right in

I said

no don’t worry about it stay there

I feel super weird about this. He sounded surprised and also sad/annoyed/mad? What does this behavior mean? If he didn’t want to come in for a sec he could have been in the driveway and I wouldn’t have said anything because he does that often to charge his vape pen (only have car charger one) so idk why he would be hidden from view it’s just odd and he sounded odd and now he’s acting really sweet to me.

Update, I asked him again and he said he though I would be upset so he was in fact trying to hide from me a bit. I told I wouldn’t be mad and that he dosent have to hide, in general it’s not weird to sit in the car for a bit before going inside. Idk why he would think I’d be upset, especially because I don’t get upset easy and don’t even have a history of that.

Another update: I have no issue with him needing to take a break and decompress from work in the car, it sucks that he thought I’d be mad so I told him It’s fine, it’s a little weird that he did that because he’s never done it before he usually comes right in the house, often times straight past the kids, and straight to smoking weed outside for a while so he already decompresses that way. The fact that he’s relaxing in the car is different for him. Especially because if he wanted to avoid the chaos he could just go through the side gate and not be seen by the kids. I don’t even rush to him when he comes home. It’s whatever though at this point, I’ll keep my eye out for any more odd things but I really just think he chose to sit in the car that day and thought I’d be mad.
