I dropped the girls off earlier today. When W called me to ask what time I asked if she wanted to do something later. She said she was going to a movie with a friend and then a cook out, but maybe later this evening. Then she asked if I wanted to go to the movie.
I was a little shocked at this, but I told her that sounded good. When I dropped the kids off I asked her if she was sure she didn't mind me going, she said no - she didn't mind at all - as long as I didn't mind meeting them at the theater.
So - I'm torn now. When we were living together, I would not have went to the movie. I’d have stayed at home and played video games or something and figure that was OK because she was going with her friend. So – it feels like the 180 would be to go. But the whole GAL suggests that I should not go to some of the things she asks me to do.
I think I’m going to go, simply because of the 180 thing. She needs to see a different me at all costs. I mentioned to her that if we were ever able to make it through this that I’d work my ass off at changing the way we communicate with one another and taking care of each other. She actually seemed pretty receptive to that.
