Walk Away German Wife (WAGW)

[PortlandDad]

Today is starting out pretty good. My W got up early and called her Dad in Germany. Then she started cleaning the house and berating me about how I let it get so dirty. What is funny is she is that the kids and I busted our kiesters cleaning last week but she is such a clean-nut that it would never be clean enough for her. I think if she didn't feel some sense of attachment that she wouldn't even bother. She even gave me a hug today for helping her clean the bathroom! It was the hardest thing for me to break that embrace, but I took the lead and broke it off first.

Of course, she did have to get in a few jabs about "she is glad that she doesn't live her any more" and other words to that effect, but I think she was just venting about the state of the house primarily. I think it is best to just let the comments slide because she is still in WAW mode and as Stuck says, "There is still work to do".

Still, there are a few warnings signs that I am concerned about: she didn't bring her laptop with her, so she said she wanted to update her Wer Kennt Wen profile, which is sorta like the German equivalent of Facebook. She used my sons computer and wanted us all out of the room while she did it.

The other one was that she has started wearing some very sexy underwear lately! She has always worn pretty conservative and functional underthings, but that seems to have changed since she's been gone. If it's a self-esteem thing, then I'm all for it (and I do mean ALL for it!) but given her history, I have my lingering suspicions.

Even so, today is starting out good, too, but one thing I know is how quickly things with her can go south.
