This is a very good post! I am loving all the activities you are doing... sounds fun! And GREAT job on the house!
Now remember what you told me last week? I had said how my H tells me (and anybody who will listen) how happy he is. And you said you thought that people who have to explain their happiness might not be as happy as they want you to believe. I think the same advice applies to your W.
IMO people that have to justify their actions (like she did with your friend) have something inside of them that is not totally rectified.
