Looking for Advice

[gutwrenching]

OK - did better already! Thanks for the kick in the tail. No TM, no calls either way all evening. After kids in bed, she calls. She asks what are you doing, I give a one word response: eating. She asks where are the girls, I give a two word response, in bed. This upsets her a little. She asks how they are doing, I give a short response, just fine, no issues. Immediate dejection in voice, she starts apologizing and starts talking and explaining things. I pretty much just listened. Only asked one question so I knew....asked if she's going to want a salad or just heat up what I made. Didn't even tell her what it was.
Like I said, amazing how the tone of her voice changed when it became obvious that I didn't need her and everything was fine and handled.
Will see what happens when she gets home, whenever that might be. I didn't ask.
