That's what's funny, after being married for a couple years, I get a blank look with people when I say "Lauren". And I have to explain, "you know, my wife". Anyway, she snooped and found that text, I don't say it in front of her.
Another thing I've been thinking about. She got a VM on Monday night, looked concerned, and went outside for a while saying it was SIL.
I took a nap, and woke up very concerned because it was dark outside, and usually that would really bother W. It's not a dangerous neighborhood, and I've never felt unsafe, but W would complain a lot when she lived here. She grew up in an extremely sheltered, gated community type deal.
When she came back, she said she'd been for out for a walk while on the phone. Seeing my surprise, she responded that the and she's been feeling more independent and confident.
What a weird, codependent cycle we were in, blaming each other for everything. Now she can walk down the street by herself at night, and I love it. That's the woman I married, but she turned into something so different for a while. And I was resentful when her headaches ruined our plans, or I had to do the housework. Having to do it all on my own has changed that.
I guess we've got to be strong enough on our own to make it together in a marriage.
