The adventure continues--part 5

[AFWAW]

Ok, I had a pretty uneventful day yesterday. I caught myself "hoping" several times and had to focus on something else. So, I went out last night to shoot pool. It was fun for about an hour and then it got old. I stayed for another hour and had another tasty cold beverage and then I was ready to go home. My daughter called while I was out and told me that her choir team won silver medals at her national competition--very proud. And then her phone died. Ok, the wife never told me if she was going to bring daughter home or if she was going back to her apartment. So, I had to call the wife. She said she was bringing D home. Ok, great. She starts making small talk. I listened for a while and then she asks me how my day was. Ok, I was vague as I could be. Then she says, are you at home. Nope, I'm out. Oh, really? Yep, hey, I'm gonna let you go, I'll talk to you later--I'll leave the front door unlocked. Ok, she says. I was very tempted to go over to her apartment again but I did not. She is starting to sound like her old self again--I talked w/ MIL yesterday and she kept saying that she thought this also. She seemed like she was starved for conversation almost--I don't know. I am trying so hard not to get caught up in the "hope trap". Obviously, I want her to come home or I would not be here. It really perplexes me that I can want her back though after she's done what she did. I must really really love this woman. I hope she knows that and chooses wisely.
