WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 8

[confusedinpa]

Your W obviously doesn't want to talk about "feelings". She thinks that by "dating" her way, her feelings MIGHT come back. It doesn't work that way.

See what I told you about the emotional rollercoaster never ending? hang in there. Don't let her be the one to control you.

You know, I really think you are onto something here with what's my wife is expecting. If it doesn't work that way, I'm really in trouble.

She called again tonite. She sent a couple of emails during the day but I didn't answer them. I missed her call but she left a message asking me to call her. Usually, if she calls and doesn't leave a message, I don't call her back.

Anyway, I called her back after about 20-30 minutes and tried to be friendly. She had questions about her IPOD again. I told her what I thought she needed to do and also told her that I burnt her library onto a couple of DVD's as I knew that was what she would need to get working on her new computer. She thanked me and told me she appreciated that.

Then we chatted about going to the baseball game tomorrow where my 7 year old is throwing out a pitch. We talked about logistics and timing. Then she chatted about her day/nite. I let her go on for about a minute or two but when she yawned, I took that as an opportunity to say that it sounded like she was tired, and I was too so I was going to let her go.

So I'm going to see her tomorrow, it will be for a pretty long stint. I must remember to be the best CIPA I can be!

An ironic thing about last nite was that one of my friend (the WAW who left her husband back in Dec that I've been talking to about my situation) sent me an email today (I was at a different plant today) and asked if I was in "trouble" with my wife last nite as she looked upset. I told her briefly what happened and remarked how did she know my wife was upset when I thought everything was fine. I really need to take lessons on reading cues......

Thanks for all your insight and support.
