Is this the end of my marriage?

[P17]

Update.

My W was due to be here on Monday to spend some time with my D. She had to rearrange as she has had to work. So she can be over on Wednesday (4/11).

Several voicemails and texts and I've now arranged for her to babysit for me while I go out to my dance class on Wednesday. I have been trying hard NOT to text but to phone her and she has actually phoned me twice.

She has suggested coming over on Wednesday at 5pm until whenever I finish. To try and drag some control back, I actually called her and asked if she could leave it until 5.30pm so I can 'finish homework and dinner' with my D.

This felt good as it was reminding her that she doesn't get to do those things anymore and also that I am in control of the times, not her. These tiny little power struggles are important for my sanity.

Just a little power being taken back. The NMMNG class, although in it's very early days is teaching me well, as is this fantastic forum.
