Okay, Here in the Outer Banks. We made it in one piece even considering it was a 10 hour drive. Couple of hours into the ride, my W actually brought up the R topic. She was asking me about people I had spoken to about the situation and how the conversations had gone. Specifically she was asking about my best friend whom I've only recently told. Told her that everyone has been very supportive and that for the most part they recommend trying to work things out. When I was talking to my best friend he said almost exactly the same thing I said to the W. That we don't believe that there is only one person in the world that is your 'soul mate'. There's just too many people out there. Too many possibilities. I may be good, but I'm not the best. Not the most handsome, strongest, talented, etc. A person can keep jumping from mate to mate. Finding small improvements and never be satisfied because there may be the next person that is a little better. I ramble. The W didn't want to hear this when I told her. Too logical and we are talking about love which defies all logic.
I told her that I had bought the Five Love Languages and that I thought she should read it. Got the response I expected. Roll of the eyes. Sure... some propaganda to get us back together. Just what she doesn't want to work on right now. I told her that I thought it would be good information for her regardless of the outcome of us. Whether is helps with us or the next person, I thought it would be valuable information. We'll see if she picks it up this week.
I need to work on more control with the cell phone situation. I get suspicious everytime she picks it up. Just need to drop that.
Talking about the Love Languages book...
I'm pretty sure my W's primary language is Quality Time. Any suggestions out there on how to best fulfill this? I was working on this in the car on the way down. Trying to keep conversations going.
