How's this for detachment? Last night the phone rang at 9:45. I am pretty sure there are only two people who call me at that time--my brother or my wife. I let it ring. I did check to see if there was a message, but no message left. That almost certainly rules out my brother--he always leaves a message. I resisted the temptation to *69 to see if it was the wife.
Two months ago when a similar thing happened I did *69 and learned it was the wife.
I feel this is progress! I still love her and am keeping the door open for now, but I'm moving forward with my life on my terms. Time to get busy decorating the new place! Take care.
