W just walked in late tonight, has obviously been going out. Would not talk to me.
We had a clash in the morning because I did not like her instructions to the gardener, she's just not thinking things through. Off she went all huffy and offended, accusing me of interfering. Of course, I was, but guys - I was trying to get a factual matter right. No need to take it personal, IMHO.
Problem is, something similar already happened the morning before, so history seems to be repeating. And R getting in trouble.
Now I am quite cross, because obviously I do not want my R to worsen (W was a very close to WAW just 3 years ago) but I also do not want the garden a mess. Also I am quite cross about the whole thing so can't really think what is the important thing now.
Do I really have to chose between either having a shitty garden or having a WAW?
Is the garden even remotely as important as your W?
Could the problem be less in what you said and more in how you said it? If I were your W in that situation, I would kind of feel like I had been treated like a child.
