First Timer

[wolverine1997]

Called wife at work today to ask her if she had been back home after kids and I left. It wasn't overly important but when I got home I found a couple things different from when we left. I had thrown a couple things away and they were taken out of the trash and replaced back to their original places. She said that she had not been back home and that it probably was our autistic son who had rearranged things when I wasn't looking. He had done the same thing to her before, she said.

I probably should not have called since it wasn't very important but I was just wondering what happened and if she had been back in the house. She was fairly pleasant during the call until I told her about letter from insurance company increasing our home insurance deductible. When I mentioned it she became a bit smart alecky and said "do what you want". At that point I got off of the phone.

This has been the first time that I have talked to her in a couple weeks (minus the phone call to let her know that I was going out of town over the weekend) and the first time I have called her at work in a month or so. This may not sound like much but it is a big step for me. I had been talking to her everyday at work for the past 15 years. Everytime that she is a jerk it strengthens my resolve to continue on dark.
