You were all right...unfortunately...

I think our conversation the other night made it clear to her that I felt she had crossed the line. And I think her little "act-out" last night was just rebellion. When she got home at about 0800, she called me on my cell to see where I was. I told her I was doing a little Christmas shopping. When I got home she was very quiet, and so was I.

As I left for work this morning, she said goodbye, but she said "I really don't feel like giving you a kiss." Okay, I said.

I've thought a lot about what I might say when I see her this evening. I think I'll just tell her that she knows how I feel, and I know how she feels. Let's call a truce until later, and just agree that we disagree, and move on. I can't stop her from talking to the OM, or going out to dinner with other guys. She's free to do all that.

And she's free to walk out the door if she thinks that's what she needs to do to be happy. I'll be hurt and sad, but I'll find a way to move on. That's what I'll tell her.

It's not going to be easy to get through this Christmas. And here we are with two new grandkids.

I'd have to say that this is the lowest I've ever felt in my life.
