Another waw/mlc and I need support

[cyclone]

We seem to be in a better place the past couple of days. Had a great time with the kids on the weekend. S7's last soccer game on saturday. W shows up and doesn't say anything to me until after the game. My assistant coaches wife asks me if I want to join their family for lunch. W asked what we are doing and is also invited. She joins us and we have a great time together. No expectations. She took off later in the day to spend the night at the room she rents.

Sunday the two boys and I went on a bike ride to a nearby lake to do some fishing. Later in the day W meets us for S7's music recital. Afterward we decided to go to benihana for dinner. Again a nice time together. I had a great time. She left the table a few times bit overall it was great to be together as a family.

Today we spent a lot of time together around dinner. After dinner she asked me what we were going to do about thanksgiving. Last week she said she wanted to take the boys so I haven't made any plans. She now wants to do what is best for the kids. I don't know what that means go her but it doesn't sound like she thinks it means taking them someplace or have me go someplace and keeping them in the house. No expectations.

Later in the evening she made a few remarks about my taking baths in the evening to relax and having the fireplace on. She said that these are things that she does and finds it funny that I'm now doing them too. I should have just said I'm sorry you see it that way but my guard was down and I said that I've been taking baths in the evening since august (bomb drop) and the house has been cold at night but she doesn't liketk have the furnace on.

Tomorrow is a new day. No need to beat myself up about the little backslide.
