First Piecing Thread

[Hope4us]

Wow. First time I've even had a chance to look at the boards for a while and I see long lost WDID posted to me last night! LOL.

Things are ok, thanks for asking. Still the glacial pace of piecing. W has still been pretty engaged. She moved into the new office on Monday and has been stressed about a number of things so I've just been giving her space and listening when she wants to vent. We're still in the pattern of us being away from home and things are really good, weekends good and weekdays different and I suspect it's because she's in a permanent state of WD with her A gifts looking at her while at work, but I'm not going to push that now. Don't get me wrong, the work weeks have been slowly getting better with not as much pull back from W as in the past, but there's still something with her going to work. I'm going to evaluate the next couple weeks and see if her changing buildings so she's not working where her and OM worked together makes a difference.

I'm going to keep my positive attitude, keep GAL, keep showing her the guy she fell in love with and when I do confront her with the A gifts, hopefully she'll be in a place to give them up.

I'll tell you a couple of good things, both related to "The Bachlorette". Normally I don't watch the show. I'll sit in the room and read or whatever while W watches, but this season there's a guy on there that is a musician and he made it pretty clear early on that he was only there for the publicity for his band. Well, I got hooked because this guy was such a scum bag, messing with a woman's feelings for his own personal gain, etc.

So Saturday we were at MIL's house for a bit and it came up in conversation and I went off. I couldn't hold back. Told MIL and W that the guy deserved to get his a** kicked and there's not too many things in the world that make me more angry than someone that uses someone else for their own personal gain, etc. W and MIL just sat there looking at me.

So Monday night I was out of town for work and W kept TMing me about the show and what a scumbag the guy was, etc. After the show was over she called me and was really mad because the guy finally showed his true colors and W was pissed. I just let her vent, but inside I was seething because NOW she might be figuring out that OM was cut from the same cloth?

So now I think I'm dealing with some more of W's guilt. Still getting along great. Still some affection. Lots of talking and laughing, but not talking about that elephant that's in the room.

I'm just plugging along until she finally opens up and really TALKS with me about it. Who knows, maybe she never will. And then I'll have a decision to make, but for now, we're just kind of a normal married couple in MOST senses of the word.

Planned a little night away trip for Saturday that I'm going to surprise her with. Gonna wake her up Sat morning and tell her to pack an overnight bag and shower and lets go. I know she'll be surprised and love it, and it'll be nice to get away, if only for a night. Work has been crazy busy for me and I had a discipline case to deal with and that just takes it out of you, so having a relaxing night away will be good.

I'll post on Monday and let everyone know how the weekend went.

See ya.
