Over the Shock and GALing 6

[The Wifey]

Thinker,
I think you did/are doing great. Detached. Mysterious, and, yes, "Just the facts, Ma'am." Being everything you should be but "husbandly." Too much info, perhaps. Where'd you go? Out. Couple of drinks with a friend .

She doesn't like mysterious. She is threatened and seems a bit pursuing.
"If it does not pertain to kids, house, finances, I don't owe you any answers or explanations." perhaps?

Keep Going.


"

One word answer Thinker: "Where did you go for 3 hours?" Out.

If she asks again, out.

And you are smiling, happy, content, and it will bother her. I loved that you answered without considering her feelings.

You listed the reasons why you like her. Great. Use them as motivation and be MORE mysterious, not less. She is only in control if you let her be. Control is an illusion. Neither one of you are in control and neither one of you should be.
