Quote: As to our sitch today - I do think W schedules things for herself so that she does not have to do things with me (plays and concerts with coworkers, dinner outings and weekends away with the Mom Posse). The thing is that I do encourage W to have a life outside of work since I do know how stressful work is for her and she does put in a lot of hours.
is w still against going anywhere with you without the kids as back up?
could you try to include some wind down time for her that includes you?

I think that W has some issues concerning trust, LL. Given the way that she has been treating me for the past few months, it would be perfectly natural for me to "stray off of the reservation." And regardless of what I say, W will still have those issues rummaging around in her mind. But I don't want to go looking elsewhere - my place is where I am right now.
well then asside from it being benificial for you personally to go...how do you perceive it effecting your r with w? how do you suppose she will act when you come home from the weekend?
Quote: BTW - my birthday is next Friday so it should be interesting what W gives me - I mean, what the kids and dog give me...
happy almost birthday...I hope the kids and dog treat you great! and who knows maybe w will surprise you too.
