Divorce not busted 2

[Coach]

I left the thank you card on the counter when I left the house this morning. I just got this text: "Thanks for the card! Do you know when the plumber is coming today?"

Thanks for the card? Thanks for the card?!! WTH? And it was sent with when is the plumber coming? What's up with her? Sandi2, any thoughts?
Sorry... I know I shouldn't expect anything. Still, I would have thought SOME kind of reaction other than "Thanks for the card".
Maybe she is waiting till I get home from work. I'm not expecting her to run into my arms when I get home, but I gave her a thank you card instead of an anniversary card. Isn't she affected in some manner about that?
She sent another text about bringing the boys to see "G-Force" tonight. She wants to eat at the theatre and see the movie. I said yes.
I probably need a 2x4, but please wrap it in bubble wrap, I am a little fragile today, it is after all our anniversary.

The count is 0-2 on Orich. Whats the pitch going to be from your wife? Curveball off the plate. Unhittable and makes you look weak swinging and missing.
Stop thinking like a "Nice Guy." Most of us here were in the club. Detaching means you have no attachment to the outcome of things. You gave her the card because it was the right thing to do for you. Her response (outcome) is what upsets you. She didn't respond the way you expected. Do you care how a person feels if you are cuffing them for breaking the law (boundary)? No, you are doing the right thing because it is the right thing.
You only control your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. You are not going to win her back by giving her the right card, saying the right thing, being who she wants or looking the right way. You will detach when you are being the best Orich, Dad, husband and cop you can because that is what is great for you. You can handle it.

Strength and Honor.
