WAW1 - Anticipation

[markhaving probs]

My wife just rang to ask the children how their day went. While she was talking to the children I thought about broaching the subject of why she makes herself uncontactable when she is out. I think we all know why but it annoys me that if I needed to contact her on an emergency we can't. If I asked her it would appear to be pursuing so I didn't mention it when she asked to speak to me.

She said we must invest in two more car seats which I agreed, she then said she was seeing the lawyer on Wednesday to get the Deed of Settlement drawn up. All this hurts but I sounded sort of matter of fact rather than friendly, and then she wanted to confirm I was not going to change my mind on the figures, I said no...short and to the point. I then said "ok then, I will see you tomorrow at about 5.15pm", with which she responded by saying "you always want to get off the phone" in a terse sort of way. I just said "well ok if there isn't anything else I will see you tomorrow then".

I said goodbye and ended the call. She will probably think I was rude, but I felt slightly agitated and dealt with the call the way I did. Maybe I should have sounded more upbeat, but I listened to her, I confirmed questions and ended the call.

I hope I did it right.
