Hi all. Back from the long weekend away and boy oh boy, IT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

Going back to last Tuesday, W was in the middle of her huge mood swings. Continued Tuesday night. I won't go into it, but she was all over the map. I basically was polite when she wanted to talk but the rest of the night I just did my own thing.

Wed on the way out the door for work I told her I'd see her Sunday and she waved at me. That was it.

I didn't contact her at all Wed. S17 and I left before she got home from work. We went to my mom's house and had a mini birthday party for S17. Thursday we left for Michigan.

Right on que, Thurs about noon W TM's me about nothing, I'm assuming just to make contact. I was polite, but didn't really get into any kind of conversation. Friday, didn't hear a thing from her. Saturday afternoon she started TM'ing me like crazy. I was polite again, but tried to end the conversations. She asked me if I wanted to go shopping this coming weekend in Amish country and I said we'd talk about it when I got home.

She was bored sitting home all weekend by herself......Oh well, might want to get used to that honey.

Got home yesterday and she was as nice as she could be. Talking and talking and talking. We had a nice night. She got real quiet as we were watching a show on t.v. and there was a comment made about "the conquences of your actions". That kind of ended her good mood.

What I discovered this weekend? I really don't NEED her. I would like our marriage to have a chance, but things have been all about HER for so long in our marriage, this A included, that I KNOW if she won't wake up and make a commitment to making this a marriage we BOTH want, then I'm not settling for less than I deserve.

And it feels GOOD. I laughed more this weekend than I have in over 2 years. Man, I needed that.

If she wants to join me, great, if not, I'm good.

We'll see how it goes.
