Not much has changed over the past week. W and I are still getting along better. Our intimacy does not seem to be progressing from my POV but the fun/ relaxing time is getting better. I do not feeling like I am always on trial and I hope she is feeling more comfortable around me. We seem to be able to joke more and have some laughs.
Also she has taken a more firm stand with our kids lately which has allowed me to not be the disciplinarian all the time. I have stood back and allowed her to deal with our S who has used the "I forgot" excuse why too much for my liking and now she has finally put her foot down and said enough is enough. Something I have tried to tell her and enforce for a while now.
Its nice to feel like we are working together and not against each other. That I can say this is what I think we should do and not have her get pissy with me. I said to her on Monday night after our S "I forgot" comment that we need to stop allowing him to do this stuff and I know you get upset when I say this but he needs to learn a lesson and start doing stuff for himself without your help. She said she was not upset with me and agreed that we need to back off helping him. FINALLY.
Tuesday he brought home a progress report and it had two grades on it trhat were "F". One was a test he got a B on and my W signed it but he "forgot" to turn it in and lost it. The second was a homework assignment he "forgot" to turn in on time. My W went off the deep end and laid down the law on homework, computer time and the BS of saying "I forgot" all the time. I just stood in the back ground and let her go. Then told her I agreed with all that she had said and the action she took.
Wednesday was her poker night and my FIL and SIL were over and they asked her if she was going. She said if Tim does not mind. I told her to go and have fun and if she stops at the grocery store to pick something up for me. She said I heard you compain the other day that we didn't have that here. I was like you heard that, sorry. She said yes I did and stuck her tongue out at me on her way out the door. It was a playful exchange and she picked it up on her way home.
