Tipper and Matilda, I feel disappointed that my W doesn't attend my family functions, however, I think it's more discomfort on her part that she doesn't attend. It's not enjoyable for me when she attends family functions--she's not able to relax. She connects with my family in the manner that she's comfortable with (short visits).
The poem I read was not written by myself. It was titled, The Longlyweds. I enjoyed reading it, and contributing to the event.
I met my W for dinner at the hotel she's staying at for her job. Her agency is hosting a convention for several days. We chatted poolside after dinner. When we parted our separate ways, she gave me a hug (first time in probably several years).
I've cut back my evening work hours, now that my supervisor is no longer with us, so that now I'm only working two nights until 7PM. This frees me up to attend a yoga class, which my W plans on joining me for.
