First Timer

[wolverine1997]

Well, let me fill you all in on how my weekend went. Last week a couple of my buddies invited me to go to NY with them for the weekend to visit mutual friends and family. A few of my friends were going with their wives and kids whie others were going alone. At the last minute I decided to go. I came home from work, packed my bag, called my wife (she and kids were at her parents house)and told her that I was going out of town for a few days. She said ok and didn't ask any questions. I didn't mention who all were going or when I would be back. She never called me to ask any questions and I never called her. I did talk to the kids when I got there though. I have never done anything like this before.

One of my buddies and I rented a car and hit the road. We also shared a room at the hotel. While there we visited friends, played basketball, did some site seeing and ate well. We had a ball. We got back early this morning. When I got home she and kids were asleep.

This morning she got up to go to work. I woke up while she was in the shower. I washed, got dressed and went to a meeting at work. I haven't seen or spoke to her in the last 3-4 days. This was a big step for me. I had a couple days of fun without worrying about my sitch. Of course the ride back home was unpleasant due to anxiety about returning back to the reality of my life. But for a couple days things were a little pleasant for a change.
