I've not posted for a while and normally when I do I start with W and I getting on fine, which in the main we are but last night something changed. W came into the room and verbally attacked me alien style. What I had done was to leave my winter coats in the garage while the building work had been going on and the builder has stacked some building material on them. W ranted on at me for not taking care of my things and then went on to say that I'm not taking care of my personal appearance and the only time I try to look good is when I put on my sports gear to go to the gym. WTF, my sports gear is 2 - 3 years old and I wouldn't say I go out of my way to look good at the gym neither would I say my appearance has become scruffy. I know my W style of arguing and she'll always throw something unconnected in from left field to try strengthen her original point. W did apologise later for having a go at me, which is something she doesn't usually do.
A couple of things here, what W sees is what W sees, so if she does see me looking scruffy in the day and smart for the gym then that's how it will appear to her, I can't change that. All I can do is go back to basics, listen to what I hear then act upon it. Also my gut instinct tells me there are outside forces at work which have triggered W latest behaviour, I have no evidence, don't need to snoop, I just have this feeling. I suppose whatever it is it will eventually come out. W has also recently agued with and fallen out with MIL, her b/f, my b/f wife so there's something definitely going on with her.
Work on the house is progressing slowly, there is less dust around so W has moved back in, she has exchanged the stress of living back at home with MIL to living with me.
Plans for our trip to Barcelona have changed it's no longer a romantic break for 2, as we are now taking D7 with us. There are a number of reasons for this but I am ok with it.
I just spoke to W on the phone today all is ok but I now know the alien lurks not far away. So I think top of the list for action is to do some work on me to stop the appearance of complacency setting in which in turn will unleash the alien.
