W came home tonight and so far hasn't made any mention of the apt. We made dinner together and ate (kept the TV on which we normally didn't do), and she got up before I was finished (ok with me). Basically it's been an avoiding night peppered with laughs and "loud discussions."

She did get mad at me because I wasn't home when she got home. Called me on the phone to complain and I tried explaining that I was planning on getting home before 7 which was when she said she was getting home, but her plans changed and now she was getting home early. It's very frustrating when we're not informing each other of our plans and there's no routine.

Hopefully we can make it through the weekend.

Goals for the rest of the night and the weekend:

1. Stay calm and peaceful.
2. Validate what she's feeling.
3. Convince her that I'll do the grocery shopping for the week (a complaint of hers)
4. Sleep in the same be two night.
5. Do something fun together over the weekend - movie, ice skating, something that doesn't require that much talking.

Let you know how it goes.
