!Help! Need Advice and encouragement!

I will try reallly hard to not explain to/answer wife next time.

I will say much less --but she does respond better if I am firm, yet not argumentative--which is tricky.

I know her main problem is she doesn't have the money for insurance. I'm sure she doesn't realize that the cash does not need to be paid up front.

Besides, she said OM was putting them on his insurance. She just hasn't finished it yet. I got the forms together and I want to give the truck & bike to her. I'm not sure if she saw some household items that looked like I've had female company, and didn't want another woman riding her bike, or just wanted to go riding with OM on these perfect riding days we've been having. regardless, she should have left the key so I could get it running. I believe I have another key, but I looked for it like she looked for insurance.

Either way, I think the suspicious items kind of bothered her.

I don't think she was happy I locked the computer, either.

Well, tomorrow I will be firm, yet quiet and happy

We have to do d10's b-day skating Saturday that I set-up, so we have to get together at least. Maybe we can go shopping together for presents- (yeah, sure)

We've only got two more days. It also looks like I'm paying for the whole party.

Anyways, I really wish I could tell her the you're making the biggest mistake of your life-but you can't see it yet- speech.

But that probably would not make her really think about it enough, right now, but if kid problems, money problems, and hopefully OM problems continue, maybe she would remember that speech and at least give it some thought.

Meanwhile, I am scouting internet date sites and e-mailing and getting some nice distractive friends.

Thanks, Sandi, your wise counsel is golden.
