Strange exchange last night. After I dropped the rope on the A, she was stunned. She called about 8 times. I answered the third call and responded to one text. She went to a movie with SD20. The little ones and I went out for pizza.
When she got home, I was in bed. We talked for a few minutes. I was pleasant and engaging. She mentioned a black tie event coming up. I was restless so I got up and went to the sitting room. After a while she presented in the doorway. She asked what I was doing. I told her I was thinking. Eventually, I returned to bed. She was still awake. I chatted with her some more. She said something like, "Something is wrong". SHe has said this before when she suspected me of being involved with another person.(Never, ever happened. There was never even a person, significant or otherwise.)My response was, "A lot of things are wrong." HA! I have disrupted her system of thinking.
This morning, I came down stairs and presented with a smile and appeared to be content. She asked at the breakfast talble what I was thinking about last night. I told her I would not discuss it now and jestured to SD7. She has called twice already today. I was pleasant and cheerful.
It feels good to be disruptive to a bad system. I am starting to reconnect with my inner rebel!
