On Friday, I finished work and was ready for a BIG unload of "what a week i've had, blah blah blah" etc etc. Poor H was ill with a cold and wasn't in the mood for talking, just schlomping on the sofa.
I had arranged to meet a friend in town for a couple of drinks and a meal.
Old me - would have stayed at home with H, trying to "make him feel better" and not getting my need to chat met.
New me = left H at home, went out with my friend, got my need to chat sated, H had a good time at home with the TV and a nap.
Result = everyone wins!!!
I am glad now I don't feel i "have to" do things like stay at home with H when he's ill, that by going out I'm not being a bad W, in fact quite the opposite!
