I had two events lined up in my pursuit to work on my M. My councelor was going to teach me how to do mindful relaxation as the first event. The second event my W and I were going to a concert with my sister and BIL.
Well I ran out of time so I didn't go over my mindful meditation exercises. Instead I was given a website where I could read about it. I went on the website and was able to learn how to do a basic meditation exercise.
At the concert we had a lot of fun; w couldn't stop laughing. At one point during the concert W was giving advice to a young woman and her girl friend b/c her boy friend was not treating her right. I listened and picked up on some flawed thoughts my W had. From what I heard, it sounded as though my W thinks friends are more important then a husband or family. Since one of the girls asked my advice, I added my two cents and said if you feel like your not respected then move on to someone else before its too late and you M that person. My W continue to talk and eventually she scared the two girls away.
Later during the concert we went back to having fun. When the second act came on stage we where dancing and having fun. Sing along when we knew the words and faking it when we forot them. My W and I were having fun again. During the end of the night my W was getting drunker and drunker. I had to hold onto the back of her jacket just to keep her from falling down.
We got home very late and both of us were tired. My W went to bed dressed confortably for a change. I snuggled up next to her and kissed her goodnight. The next night my W went to bed (very late) but without wearing heavy pants or a sweatshirt. Hopefuly she will keeps this up. A trusting relationship is something that's important to me.
