WAW Using God II

[pigskin]

There may be a pattern here.

W stopped by the house to pick up a couple of things and we chatted about random stuff. Again she came inches close to me a couple of times and held my face in her hands demonstrating how she gets my son to pay attention to her in a nice way without her having to yell.

It felt uncomfortable; almost inappropriate, like if a pretty woman at the office got a little too far in your personal space. You like it, but it's uncomfortable.

I may not be projecting as good an image as I thought, as she asked "How are you doing?". I replied "Fine. How are you doing?" She said she was good, and was asking about me because I seemed a little grumpy and my son said I was grumpy when she talked to him on the phone. I reiterated "I've actually been great!" and left it at that.

Now I've been actually quite happy and content, and have been cheerful and smiling when she was around so I'm not sure where she came up with this. My son is always trying to play off of the other parent when one hands down a punishment (it never works as we ALWAYS back each other up) so maybe it seems to him that I've been grumpy but I've actually been trying to enforce a little discipline around the house.

In any case, the storm clouds do not seem to be hovering over my wife at the moment. She's been pleasant, even looks pretty happy, whereas other times she walks in the house looking like someone asked her to demonstrate what a b**ch would look like...
