On the verge of piecing......a new beginning

[TwinDad]

Well last night could have been a blow-out but it wasn't

My W came to me and said that she wanted to see a concert tomorrow (which is today). She went on-line and found some excellent tickets on ticket master but they were very expensive. As everyone probably already knows you only have a couple minutes to get the tickets once you click on them. Here is how the conversation went.

W-Can we go
M-Sweetie, they are pretty expensive and we have a garage sale to get ready for the next day. Do we have anyone to watch the kids?
***She texts our niece to see if she will.....nor response****
M-Go ahead and get them if you want
W-No, we have no one to watch the kids
****Time expires, tickets in that location no longer available***
W-This is all your fault, you ruin everything
M-Don't lay this all at my feet, I told you to get them, you didn't want to because we didn't have any one to watch the kids
W-I am never going to let you live this down
M-I would seriously hope you wouldn't act like this
*****Leaves the room and comes back and sits down and pouts****
M-So are you going to just sit there and pout
W-I am not going to talk to you
M-So are we back in highschool again......Sweetie, I only wanted to express to you my concerns about ssaving money in case you don't want to do your job anymore....you were complaining about it just today
W-Quit my job, why so I can be a prisoner of yours?
*****here is the DB detachment moment*****
M-Sweetie, you could walk out that door tomorrow and I would be just fine, it is not what I would want but I would be just fine.
W-Yeah right....
M-I told you it is not what I would want but I would be just fine.

Shortly after that, my niece texted and said she would look after the kids. MY W checked the ticketmaster site again and some new tickets were just released. We have VIP tickets to the concert tonight....ought to be fun. The best part is she initiated some of the best sex we have had in a long time last night.....ahhh the power of detachment (ok....so I am a male pig....lol)

I really credit DB with giving me this self confidence and assertiveness
