The adventure chronicles

[AFWAW]

Been a while so I guess I'll update. The wife called me today all upset that she can't join the Army but that the recruiter said that I could. I had checked into after she told me about it and asked the normal questions about what it entailed. She asked me if I intended to pursue it further. I said, yeah, you were going to pursue it if I couldn't get in, so why wouldn't I? She said, yeah, you're right, you probably won't want me back if you get picked up will you? I didn't respond. After a moment, I said, Well, I'm sorry to hear about that, I really have to get back to work, I'll talk to you later. Well, she called 3 or 4 more times during the day. I kept telling her I had to go. She tells me that she bought a new car today? So, I played along and asked what kind? She tells me and tells me how much it was and then asks if I'm mad? I said, why would I be mad? (I mean really, what do I care? Our bank accounts are seperate--if she has money to waste then so be it as long as she pays child support when she's supposed to, right?)

Anyway, she asked if she could come over and show D her new car. Sure, no problem. While she was here, she kept pursuing and pursuing. Something clicked in my head about what Gucci had said in the past, so I backed off a little each time and the more I did that, the more she pursued. I didn't back off too much though. As she's leaving, she grabs me and says: I want to come home. I thought to myself, is that a question or does she think she can just come home anytime she feels like it? I didn't say anything and she left.

Thoughts on this interaction?
