NYE. We went to ILs. My wife was cold and distant to me. She fell asleep on the sofa at 900. MIL and I watched black and white movies. MIL has picked up on Ws depression and is giving her support. We spent the night there. This morning W asked me if I would be attending a black tie event with her later this month. Very ambivalent tone. I told her I would. I couldn't say no with ILs there. Then I would have looked like I was rejecting their depressed daughter. I suggested she shop with MIL for a dress. I was trying to fill a love bucket need here. We came home. I got busy and stayed busy with projects, exercise and fun with kids. She was leaving for an event this afternoon. I made myself scarce. She sought me out to tell me she was leaving. I told her "oh, ok, have a good time.". I think she wanted me to be suspicious and upset. Screw that, I am writting poetry with a chainsaw on the roof lady. By the way have you seen my dynamite? We have MC on saturday. I have no idea where to begin. I need to formulate an approach. She asked for this so I don't want to be a hard A** but being firm and resolute seems to work. Thoughts?
