Jak, Matilda, Aud, and Piecing Friends, My W is having a mood swing this week. After a few weeks of pleasant behavior, she has been consistently irritable. There is disruption in the house with the hardwood floors being finished. She doesn't communicate to me, so I don't know what's going on with her.
I ended-up going to the dance lesson myself tonight. I had a great time, practicing a samba basic step and combinations.
She will make plans without telling me, so I have to be prepared to entertain myself on short notice.
I'll work on facing whatever comes, with little reactivity. I think I'm skilled enough at this point to weather any difficulties that will come my way.
Chronic marital difficulties do teach the LBS that one must continue to cultivate happiness, or else be at the mercy of your spouse's moods and behavior. There is no way of telling which way this situation will go, or how long it will take to resolve itself, one way or another, so I better keep working at happiness.
