Don Juan Canto XII Stanza XXXIV
I would like to ask for some assistance in developing a playbook, an effective solution, in dealing with my wife over the next couple of weeks.
It seems my dear wife did not take well to my 'social interactions.' In fact, I feel that it has 'shook up her world' to realize that ol' Steve was tired of waiting around for nothing. She has exhibited a range of emotions and attitudes towards me over the past few months, ranging from anger and questioning, curosity and confusion to down right persuing behavior recently.
I myself have been enjoying life. I have found that a friend who I have admired for a long time has been admiring me as well. And for those who wish to take notice the chemistry is obvious. Oh the jealously. It seems Mrs McQ is quite upset that the chemistry no longer exists between US. Although, she has done everything she could to destroy it and failed to take notice of that for years. She is now scrambling, trying to do everything from keeping the house spotless, to making sure dinner is made, to coming up with every excuse possible to keep me from finding something else to do in the evening.
The woman who previously decided there was no relationship to work on came up to me one evening last week to talk about our "dysfunctional' relationship. At a time that I felt was not a good time to talk about such matters. LOL.
Anyhow, she is out of town on some work related training this week, and she specifically asked two things of me over the week. 1) not to have my 'buddy' over while she was gone and 2) that when she returns we spend some time talking about our marriage.
Still she has called twice today from the road, and I expect will be calling all week, and I expect will be wanting to talk relationship this weekend.
What do I say? I really dont have a list of demands as such I expect you to be such a way. Other then maybe I hope to soon be bagged three dozen.
Or how do I act? I will admit I am confused at to how to proceed. I havent seen any grand-scale changes in my wife, other than maybe realizing her free-ride may soon be over or that maybe her alternatives had some short comings. IDK. I dont feel like turning around for some gesture of friendship or for some grasp at remaining status quo on her part. I wonder if it is too soon to have her back me into this corner.
