My Story

Hi Mike, just checking in on you to see how things are going. I really don't have any information to give you on how to make your R better with MIL. Fortunately, I do have a pretty good relationship with my MIL, or at least I did, I guess it is still OK.

I can see that this will be a hurdle for you because your W is alot like my W in that they are really close with their mothers. Really, the only thing I can tell you on this is to sit down with her face to face and find out exactly what her problems are with you and see if both of you can come to terms on things. This is what I do in my job when I have coworkers or managers in conflict with one another, I know it's not family but it's the only way to get to the bottom of how these individuals feel and why they feel this way. Maybe someone else will chime in and give you other types of advice.

Take care. Did you play golf today?

We have had a good weekend. I told a buddy today that every thing is normal except there is no intimacy, my wife sleeps in another bed and there are divorce papers out there..other than those 3 things I have the perfect marriage. We are getting along great, as a matter of fact we may be getting along better since December than we have in the last 6-7 years.

We hung out around the house yesterday. I cooked for us last night. Today my mother had a dinner, she always has one every third Sunday. My W and D did not go because a girlfriend of my W from SC came up to Asheville for a work conference..I told my W to take my D and go over there since she only gets to see her best friend a couple of times per year.

I told my W my mom and family would understand. My W ask about everyone when I got home, she was a little upset because she missed my mom's roast beef.

My W is downstairs making dinner for us now.

I worked out today, skipped on the golf, it's sort of cloudy rainy and cool here.

Hell, I really don't know what's going on. I have come to the conclusion she will either stay with me or D me. It's up to her really, I can't stop it. This has been one hell of a roller coaster ride and it's far from over.
