I put a pizza together (grocery store + added ham & pinapple), made a salad, cut up watermelon. W got home, and we ate and all.
Over the weekend, I had done laundry and folded it, went to the grocery store, etc. W said again, you don't have to do so much... Then she said, we should play a game after dinner, etc.
The everything changed. She was in pain, I guess pulled a muscle or something related to the surgery. She started going through the kids' school paperwork, and got so crabby that the kids reacted, which made her even in a worse mood. At some point, she looked at me and said, "I need to move out." OK. I kept the kids busy cleaning up toys, etc.
Well, eventually everthing was normal again, and we played a game.
Got the kids in the shower, and she wants to talk. She asked me how I saw this apartment thing happening.
I said, I don't know, this is your thing.
She asked if I'd do a rotation, where we trade off apartment vs. house every week. I said, no, I don't want to do that.
She mentioned the expense. I said, well, yeah, it's going to be expensive.
So, she said she's trying to figure out the options - move out, say as we are for awhile, or come back, I guess meaning to the master bedroom, which she said she won't do. She said she doesn't see a lot of options, but she guesses she could stay for awhile... or something to that effect.
OK, so then she says she's worried about HER reaction - getting snappy, and spewing that all over us. I asked her why she's so angry, and she said, I don't know.
She said, I don't know how to be around you now.
I said, "I'm easy." She looked at me and said, "I know, I know. I really like you, I like being around you. I don't want to make you think I don't like you."
Then she mentioned all the things I'd been doing. I said, well, I needed clean underwear. The kids needed food for their lunches. These things needed to be done, it doesn't have anything to do with you.
She said she wants to keep doing pizza/game nights with all of us, for family time.
Maybe a couple of other comments, then I said, anything else? Her: No.
