Walk Away German Wife (WAGW)

[PortlandDad]

Today was mixed. She doesn't have internet at her apartment yet, so when she wants to read e-mail or catch up on her social networking, she has to go to her mom's apartment, or OM apartment. She called at 5am this morning and talked to S17 for a while. I had my ringer off, so I got about 10 minutes more sleep

Then he brought me the phone. She was in a fighting, accusatory mode. She wanted to know what the password for her internet penpals account was, as she suspected that I had been snooping around on there. I told her I didn't know (which is true), but she wasn't convinced. I just listened to her, and was pretty non-emotional (it was 5am after all). I asked her if she had read my e-mail that I sent her (from a few days back, basically thanking her for a wonderful time last week). She said that she hadn't, but would shortly.

Despite nature of the call and the heat of her accusation, I'm taking a positive view of the call: her record of calls to me every day remains unbroken. She is also now interested in her pen-pals account again (at least superficially) which is good because once she found the OM, she completely neglected her pen-pals. Maybe I'm reading too much there, but wanting to reconnect with pps might signify a diminished role for the OM and a good development for our sitch.

Anyway, today is going to be great: the sun is shining, I got to talk to my W this morning (and I calmed her down and the convo did end pleasantly), and I'm going car shopping tonight. All things considered, things are good right now.
