She's ready to move on

[Michael Mc C]

Son of a...

The day started off great (guess you know how this going to end up). W did not have to go to work until noon today and we were having a really friendly morning. Talking, joking and playing music.

W called me on her way to work and told me to keep dinner plans open. Little background: Yesterday we discussed a bar/restaurant her parents used to take her and her brother to when they were very young and I told her that it sounded like something we should try to do. So she called her brother on the way into work to see if he wanted to meet us there with his GF. So that was the plan. Me, W, 3 kids, BIL and his GF.

We had a really good time at dinner, having some drinks and playing pool. Wasn't a late night but was great going out as a family again.

On the way home all was still feeling good. I mentioned that S8's bed was still in disrepair and she said:

"That's okay, he can sleep in D11 and D13's room... or with you."

So stupid! It's not that I thought things were 'fixed' and I certainly didn't expect her to spend another night in the bed with me (that was a one time thing, for now). Still, just to have her throw it out there like a reminder that we were NOT going to share the room tonight.

I feel sometimes that she sabotages any chances we have of having fun together. We have a good time and then she has to pull the rug out from under me. She didn't have to say that, I know she's sleeping on the couch. It's as if she's saying 'regardless of the fun I have had with you today, you need to remember that I want a D'

And what really sucks is that it bothered me.
