So things have gotten even more interesting. W texted to see if she could call.. I was eating lunch (after a run.. 60 here today!!) and she called. We chatted.. mostly small talk and then she said she was tired.. had a lot on her mind. I told her not to be afraid to talk to me (as she had requested from me on Sunday). She wanted to, but part of it was about him. She knew I would be uncomfortable and she was a little uncomfortable. I told her that I could listen.
So.. she started talking about how she's not being treated the way she wants to be treated. She wants to be treated like a queen. This is the second time she has complained about this with him. I validated her feelings and we chatted about what happened with us. I wasn't trying to give her any pointers.. I'm not here to fix THEIR R.
I basically tried to indicate that I understood what she was talking about and understood what it takes to give her what she wants.
2 things here.. 1.. the chink in his armor is starting to bother her. 2.. She has unrealistic expectations.. always has.
She has supposedly talked to him about this one other time and he didn't listen. Sounds like it's happening again.
Other changes.. she's very apologetic when we have to hang up.. she says "I don't want to end our conversation..." She also has intentions of running all week.. she's worried (as am I) about her being "flabby". I'm betting this has to do with the pool party next week. I'm fine except the lack of treadmill has the "tire" showing more than I like. I too have plans of running this week and next however possible!!
I'm not reading into anything.. it's nice to have "invested" conversations with her. I feel she is now investing in them some.
BTW.. While I admit I want to be slimmer at the pool, I was going down that path anyway (for me) and slid off it a little.
