Hmm, W came home tonight from working all day. Calls me on the intercom and asks me if I'll go to the store to get some bread so we can have it with dinner. I say 'sure, nor problem'. Then she says "if you go to Trader Joes you can get the (some kind, I forgot) bread and also pick me up a bottle of that wine I like - I'll give you money for it...
Caught me off guard with that one and I kind of 'snickered' because I though how ridiculous the request was. Here it is now, I AM buying HER wine after all her anger at ME for using alcohol to deal with my stress.
She suddenly got p*issed and said "forget it, I don't need it".
I just said "I'll be right out". Went to the kitchen and she was angry / hurt and would not turn and face me but talked to me with her back turned. I asked her if she had a hard day and she says "Yes, a lot of needy people and I'm just drained".
Used to be I'd hold her till she felt better but I just asked her if we needed anything else besides the bread and she said we were all set because she had shopped for groceries yesterday.
So, I left and went to the store. Got the bread and the wine she wanted and she seemed a little calmer when I got home, thanked me and I left to go back to my office where I am working on getting stuff done so I can pay my f'ing bills.
