Wedding band now gone, hers that is -

[Michael Mc C]

My suggestion is to always be prepared for stormy weather. I have been pulled back into having positive feelings about our progress just to have my wife remind me that she is still looking for a D. We've all taken so many hits while going through this that eventually, sad to say, it will soon become natural to remain guarded.

The phone calls in other parts of the house do seem suspicious. If my W started with those again, I imagine I would confront her, explaining that if she needs privacy from me for a phone call, than that phone call has no place in my house.

With that said, my wife does take the phone into other parts of the house but those calls are only about her father's health - we do not want the kids to learn too much about his condition yet - mostly because we don't know quite what's going on. There are times when I wonder if there are other calls taking place but her M.O. was to have those calls late at night when she thought I was asleep. However, I do remain guarded.
