Wife has called me on a couple occasions. I think she cried the day I picked up the kids because I was so distant with her. Not rude. Never am. Just try and not even acknowledge her for the most part. She kept asking if I had groceries. I told her that I'll make do with what I have. I know she was going to offer to get me some because she now gets state assistance. She still gave me a little goody bag of some things to take with me. Lunch meat, bread, mac and cheese boxes. She even tried to offer me to take some fajitas she cooked the day before, for dinner that night. Leaving she asked about dog food too.
I had told Karen that I should have bet her money that she was going to email me on Wednesday. And she did. Asking how the kids were blah blah. She called later and I let it go to VM. Turns out that D12 got sick again, called her mom from school and the wife took her to the doctor. Just bad allergies.
On Thursday, I get another email from her. She forwarded an email. A story about a preemie baby, not expected to make it, fragile, who makes it and at the age of 6 smells an incoming rain and says that it smells like God. It was God who nurturing her as an infant because the parents were not able to even hold her, she was so fragile. It was a very touching email.
"Just thought I'd share this with you. I was touched by it. Hope your having a great day." I didn't respond to it. Took all I had NOT to. Y'all know me.
She called me later saying that D7 had called her to have her pick her up, but that she was running slightly late. I told her that I was already on the way, so no need to. I would pick her up. She sounded slightly down. She told me she would call the Y and let them know to tell D7 that it would still be me to pick up.
She is goofy.
I have had some thoughts of her. We passed each other on the road yesterday evening. I was taking the kids to my folks to spend the night and she was on her way home.
Strange how the littlest things get the mind thinking.
But back to myself today.
Have a great weekend, people. I'm planning to.
Been thinking 'bout ya' Puppy. Hope your doing well. Talkin' 'bout dishwashers and all.
Think about EVERYONE actually. Kat, Jeff, LWB, Pup, Karen, Flynny, Suga, Mel.....you know who you are. Prayers to everyone.
H4H,
Actually, I think YOU'RE goofy, LOL. I still don't understand what your goal is here (which is fine -- it being YOUR goal and all, and not mine).
I thought when asked before, if your goal was to try and save your marriage or to just build a friendship with WW, you stated that your goal was more the latter. (Remember, you were challenged on this b/c some of us maintained that you were too friendly with WW, not DB and all in that you weren't detaching).
Which, again -- is fine.
Except that now I see where you keep saying that you're not responding to her, not taking her calls, being aloof, etc., etc.
WTF???
"Detachment" doesn't mean being a dikk, and you shouldn't be aiming for detachment anyway, unless you're still trying to DB your marriage. Are you???
