Karen: My H was gone all the time and I thought he was happy and I was busy with the kids, and we didn't spend enough time together or go out on dates.
We did go on dates, just me and W, dinner, hockey games, etc. I was attentive to her needs, as an example when she worked late Sat nights, I let her sleep in and I took care of the kids and I would make her breakfest in bed, W is a strange bird, doesn't like being tied down, cannot stand to have to ask if she can do this or that, but that is just common courtesy in any relationship. Something screwed up in her head.
W called me a work today, found cereal bar half eaten in S5 room, complained about candy wrappers (kids know they are not to eat in their room - I'm still working on this) complained about the vacuum cleaner not working properly, complained about S5 chest of drawers, some of the drawers need to be fixed, said to me, "I don't want you to think I'm nagging you" - I kept saying OK, Ok, OK - she has always been this way, needs to vent or talk about stuff, never bothers me.
But, when she isn't here all day and the kids are in school, she is going to flip out, won't have nothing to nag me about, she has been nagging me for 11 years, its going to be hard on her not to be able to call me up and complain about something.
