I have just spoken to my wife about havinig the children this weekend and I validated the things she was moaning about (as usual). We discussed me having the children one day during the week to give them their tea. She suggested Wednesday as she knows I go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays (this is one of the "reasons" she cited me for on the divorce petition), yet she is happy for me ot go to the gym now. I assume its because she does not really care what day I go to the gym. I said to her "I will gladly have the children on Tuesday or Thursday as my priorities have changed and the children come first". This obviously threw her a bit as she then said "Well, Wednesday is the best day as it is the middle of the week and seems to make sense". This is a clear contradiction and seems to confirm a woman living in cloud cuckoo land. She also said that I would never have compromised my gym nights before, why now she said. I responded about priorities again, which is a serious 180 for me. She then said "we'll see". A clear indication I think that she may test me to see whether this is a short term thing and I will revert back to the old me. I know I must make this change permanent as she will certainly notice this more than anything I say. At the end of the conversation which I eventually ended she said "well you can now go and watch your golf on TV now" as if to say "lucky you". I responded by saying I've got some music on actually, she responded but I sort of got the feeling she feels weighed down with the children as she needs to sort out clothes and things for them.

I would like to feel sorry for her, but she is the one that wants a divorce, so lets see how she gets on on her own.
