Returned home last night and was real happy, which W noticed and she commented again on that this morning.
Found out something funny last night though, my W had mentioned to someone that I was no going out a bit, but that I wouldn't be able to keep up with here. almost like she thinks it's a challenge or a game and that I'm only going out because she is and not because I want to.... I did laugh. She wouldn't keep up with me anyway, but I just feel the weight has been lifted from my shoulders and that I can now go out without being made to feel guilty. I had stopped doing it trying to be a good husband and spend time with my W as we have young children, so money and sleep obviously a priority, but where did that get me.
Looking forward to a couple of nights out this weekend with my friends. Something that I hadn't done enough of for a long time (see above)
Nothing major to post today, maybe this evening you never know. Didn't mention it, but when addressing the sitch this evening, I did my first real 'listening' and 'empathising' if you like. Accepted why W reasoning why she did said what she said, but then said it's not acceptable either way in front of the kids.
I'm going to use that more going forward as it seemed to work.
I slipped a little this morning by accident, but in a good way (I think). I complimented my W on her looks etc but also said darling when doing so. Complete slip, but she didn't say anything
