Getting Un"Stuck" - Giving My Burden to God

[MrBond]

Journaling:
Well last night was our anniversary. My W had picked up the kids at school since she had a half day and was at the house when I came home. She seemed distant and just gave short one word answers.

I asked her if she wanted to hang out for dinner, but she said "no", kissed the girls goodnight and said she'd be back in the morning to watch them since I had to work today.

I didn't mention the day to her, but I'm pretty sure it was on her mind which explains her "shut off" mode. Before she left, I gave her a hug and told her to take care. It wasn't a needy hug, it was more of a "I'm sorry what you're going through" kind of thing.

After she left, I ordered a pizza and watched a video with the kids in bed until we all fell asleep. Before I watched the video, I called my friend to say I couldn't talk tonight and I'd see her tomorrow. She totally understood the sitch with the kids since she was a product of D'd parents herself.

So this morning my W is at the house while I was still in bed. I got up, took a shower and on my way out, I told her "good morning" and talked to her about what we did last night and a few housekeeping things she needed to take care of. She was in a much lighter mood than last night. Then on my way out, I kissed her on the forehead and left. I also asked her to leave a light on for me before she left since I was going out tonight.

As I was going out the door, she told me to have a good day and to drive safely. This is something she hadn't told me in well over a year.

So tonight I'm going out with my friend for a bit to grab a bite to eat. Right now I'm in a pretty good place.
