After a very long time of distancing myself, I think I hit a milestone this past weekend. W did something unpleasant and I found it humorous rather than getting angry. Follow:
W has been going out a bit and I don't ask where. Mostly I use it as time to spend with my kids. Saturday night I was heading to the mall and she asked if I planned on going out after I went shopping. (I don't go out, btw). I said no then asked why she asked. She said she wanted to know if I had a problem taking our D9 with me (pants shopping with daddy) because W wanted to go out. I was so amazed by the request that initially I couldn't say anything. Then the absurdity of the entire situation struck me and I found it funny. I laughingly said "yes I have a problem taking her with me!" W responded by saying "I'll find a sitter then." in a very irritated tone. I just said ok and left. I am still amazed that she basically asked me to babysit our daughter while she went out to party with who knows who! Later, before I left I told her to make sure if she found a sitter that the sitter was paid before I got home. Am I nuts or does her request seem a bit loopy and off-kilter to anyone else?

Stand up for what is right, even if you are standing alone.
