When I got home from work last night, I played with the kids for a while and ate supper. W still cooks, not really for me but for the kids and she does enjoy cooking. I helped clean off the table and load the dishwasher. Made a little small talk. I told her I had to run to a friends house to pick up some band equipment and to download some songs we had to practice. We have dial-up internet and cannot download music. She instantly turned pissy. I tried asking her about work and how her vollyball camp was going and she gave me the grunt and walked outside.
I told the kids 'bye and left. She avoided me and I did not seek her out to tell her good-bye. I went and did my stuff, practiced a little bit and was home by midnight. (I left aroung 8:00)
As I was getting ready to leave this morning, W asked what time I got home last night. I told her around midnight and then said see ya tonight. I think she maybe mumbled okay.
If I ask her what time she gets in, it's a whole different ballgame. I told her the truth and didn't ask why she wanted to know or what did it matter. She does not like it when I go out even though I have never stayed out as late as she has and I am never in the company of a divorced, single woman.
I am staying by choice. I don't know how long I can last. It's my choice to try. Thanks for pointing that out, Flowmom.
