Sounds like you're giving her the benefit of the doubt. Always wise (when you can do it).
I'm always surprised and sad when things don't go well for you. You are indeed the ACE of DB-ers and you help us all out of a jam all the time.
What can we do in return?
Tell you how awesome you are: patient, affectionate, a devoted father, kind, forgiving.
Remind you that from an outsider's view there are little sweetnesses in with the sournesses -- after she freaked out, your W did say she may have read too much into things.
That's pretty good.
Of course, then she pouts.
Which is her pattern. Sigh. So sorry for that aspect of things. Know how it feels to be shunned. Hard to keep up PMA.
But you know, I think you are working TOO HARD. Something different might be to kick back and play.
I recommend a guitar.
Tee hee. But open a board game, a bottle of wine, a magazine -- plunk down in the middle of whatever mess there is -- and be undistractable as you puzzle through the game or whatever.
Show them you can have fun, that you will have fun. You deserve some fun.
Don't let the sun go down on you funless again!
Too much work, on top of a sour atmosphere, and you're a candidate for your own depression.
