My story

[Mountain_Biker]

You are right! I am focusing on the marriage and not me. I think I "act" different to her then I speak here on the forum, but maybe not. So, how do I react to the following:

She asked to get easter candy for kids on Thursday. I said "no, I told you I am going out with friends", I told her Friday night.

She is telling me to add kids on my cell phone plan. I suspect because then when she drops the big-D it is my financial problem. Do I get them to make her happy? That would be for her, not me. I want the kids to have them to some degree, but worried about the cost as all this D plays out.

She asked that we "spend time together" painting the inside of the house. I agreed at first and we did a bathroom together this weekend. Do I continue on the paint thing? I want to "work things out" with her, but not sure if painting is a good idea.

She has been calling me and talking pleasantly with me. Should I continue or just brush her off? I do not answer all her calls, but do talk when I can.

I have read lots of Puppy's entries and learning... Still trying to find the balance between GAL and giving up.
