Maybe I should be in piecing part 6?

I appreciate the comment Flynn, but I'm not going to do that. I don't need W defending her. It's almost like if you criticize an OP, it just ends up making your spouse feel cornered and likely to defend her. And I don't want them any closer than they are now, which has greatly slacked off in the last 3-4 months.

I have no clue what's going on in her head, but it seems like she must recognize on some level that EGF is bad for her. Whether it's EGF insulting me to my W, encouraging my W to look for a new man, having to be her "mom" or what, but the relationship has definitely changed from what it was back in the early fall.

Just hope she goes away soon, or maybe I/we go away.

Had a very good time last night. W sent me an email on my blackberry asking if I was in for the dinner celebrating the successful negotiations next Thurs and I told her "sounds like fun". She got home from work a little late as she was finishing up some stuff from the negotiations and we went to the little bar/restaurant near us. Had a nice long meal/drinks with lots of really good conversation. I think we were there for over 3 hours. At one point, after the food was gone, our waitress came up and asked if we were ready for the check and I looked at W and she said "no, we're going to sit here for a while". So that was nice.

Got home and we both fell a sleep on the couch fairly soon. I went up to bed when I woke up. W is so funny, she was sleeping on the couch also, and when I went up to bed she woke up and of course, had to stay up longer, so she changed the channel to the evening news and stayed put. Middle of the night I wake up and she's not in bed. I come down stairs this morning and the lights are still on in the family room and she's a sleep on the couch.

I almost said something to her about not sleeping in bed, but decided not to go there as it definitely doesn't do anything to further my goals. If it becomes a pattern, I will, but not going to worry about one night.

Leaving to go to see Lord of the Dance later this afternoon. Should be an enjoyable evening.

Talk to ya later.
