WAW1 - Anticipation

[markhaving probs]

I have just picked my children up from my wife. I wasn't sure how to act, but in this case I chose the 'indifferent' mood, I just hope this is the right one rather than the happy one. I gave the impression I wanted to leave as quickly as possible, my wife said "oh, have you noticed the bannisers have been put back up". "I know you can't be bothered anymore" etc, then she moaned about the fact I had not cut the carpet back when I layed the boxing for the pipes. She then said I needed to buy cards for my mum's birthday and she said "I don't see why I should bother". She then asked me about work, I said I was doing bits and pieces and had an interview for next week. She then went on to say "you never tell me anything".

I didn't rise to any of the baiting, I just shrugged my shoulders, picked the bags up and left. She then called me back and asked me to make sure I looked after my son swimming tomorrow.

All in all I showed indifference, she moaned and was miserable, I am concerned about her comments saying "I never tell her anything" as it sounds like more of the same. I don't know whether I should have acted upbeat, showed her I was interested in the house.

What does anyone make of her and the way I acted?

I would really appreciate some views?
