Matilda, and Piecing Friends, I didn't know it was the Buddha's birthday. How interesting. His is an interesting story. There's a historical fiction short novel called Siddartha about the Buddha's life.
There were positives this weekend. My W and I went dancing twice this weekend. We went to our favorite venue together on Friday night. It was a small crowd, but enough for us to rotate regularly.
On Saturday, we tried another dance studio for the first time. We were nervous going in, but found several of our classmates there. We had a great time, and plan on going back. The dance instructor there spoke highly of my W's dancing skills. My W said that he also said that I look smooth on the dance floor and have talent. My practice is paying off.
Someone there I had just met asked me my W's and mine marital status. I prefer that people I don't know not ask personal questions. I think part of it is that my W and I are currently Piecing things back together, so I'd like to keep my M private for the most part. I'm not sure why an acquaintance would ask personal questions of someone they don't or hardly know. I'm trying to respect my W's wishes to keep her marital status private. My W and I both are respectful of people's privacy, and don't interview people about their lives. Some people are curious, and are not as respectful.
On Sunday, we had our cooking job. I've ended-up doing the tasks my W doesn't like--the more repetitive ones, and monitoring the temperatures. My W does the quality control, and makes sure everthing looks perfect. We've become a great team with this job. She sent me an email today, thanking me for my help.
On Friday night, she modeled her new clothes for me that she had recently purchased (not too expensive, good deals). This was just like old times.
She still makes references that she would like for me to increase my salary to take care of her. I don't say anything when she says it.
I'm working on being less reactive internally, and working-out emotions thru my poetry.
