I watched Dancing with the Stars last night with my W. Once again she had several beers in her, so her speech began to slur. I had prepared a pork roast stew that weekend. I still cook every weekend for us, and made a pork roast this week to take a break from the beef she likes.
She complained that the beef was too dry, and began to complain that I don't care about her needs. I saw that this wasn't going to end, so I took my puppy and went to my bedroom and closed the door, without saying a word. I don't have the desire or energy to deal with her when she's in such a state of mind. I choose to no longer participate in nonconstructive conversations with her.
She escalated somewhat when I left, saying that I never cared abouot her needs. It died down after about ten minutes.
She bought me three dress shirts over the weekend.
