Just returned from dinner with the family and in-laws. Went fine. Not sure what's up with W (and I'm not gonna try to figure out) but she's my best friend again. Apparently this appearance is important for her.
Coach's advice this am really made a difference to me. This is MY journey - mine alone.
When we first got to my in-laws, I changed and went to work out - I really needed it. When I got back, W had set out our bags in different rooms - didn't expect otherwise.
I will not attribute any progress/lack of progress to W's decisions about sleeping arrangements for the trip. Maybe we have made progress and she just isn't ready to acknowledge it or isn't ready to sleep in the same bed with me. SHE will have to sort through that.
I am proud of myself for deciding to work out today. Old me would have not done that b/c I needed to stay at in-laws to help with the kids. Kids were fine, so I went to work out. I would imagine this surprised in-laws. But that's not why I did it.
Tonight and tomorrow are more opportunities for progress.
