Here's a letter I want to give her when she returns.

Mrs Tridoc,

I am very disappointed in your behavior this weekend. I know you want me to trust you but you did nothing to improve that trust this weekend. Instead, you made matters worse for yourself!!

On Friday evening, you didn’t answer your phone or return phone calls. I called the hotel and you hadn’t checked in until 11 p.m. or so. If your plane landed at 7:45, where were you? I was worried about you. When they rang your room you weren’t there.

When you texted me in the morning and when we spoke, you told me that phone was in airplane mode. I know better than that, you always turn on your phone when the plane lands.

Why was the Southwest boarding pass for your flight in the trash?

You know how I felt about this trip. If you wanted me to trust you I would think that you would have made greater efforts to communicate with me and the kids, but there was nothing. Instead, you selfishly pawned the kids off on your mother and other people while I worked and you had your “fun weekend”

I will not tolerate this and it won’t happen again.

I see no effort from you to work on this marriage which is in trouble. I am not totally to blame for the meltdown but I am trying to make an effort to work on my misgivings. If you want a divorce, just file and leave. The kids and I will be fine without you.
