First Timer

[wolverine1997]

Been dark for a few days now. Things seem to be a little easier for me this way. Don't have to think as much or make too many decisions about conversation. So far I only speak to her if it is related to kids, house, bills, etc. Other than that nothing. I don't offer to do anything for her anymore or even consider her needs or wants. I'm pleasant and cordial when spoken to but short and to the point. So far it hasn't phased her at all.

Two more days and the kids and I leave for the Big Apple. Looking forward to going but not looking forward to hotel bill. Contractor will finish work in house while I'm gone. Wife will be around to sew up any loose ends.

Just started gathering all the pictures in the house to start a photo album. Found pictures of the kids that I haven't seen in years. Also, found pictures of wife and I before the kids. Boy, we really looked happy then, and really, really young. She was absolutely stunning. I'm surprised that she hadn't done this years ago. She used to really be into this type of thing. Now she isn't interested in this kinda stuff and I seem to have taken over the family curator role. But I'm kinda liking it. Once I'm done I'll sit down with the kids and laugh at some of the pictures that I found. I plan of taking a lot of pictures in NY to add to album.
