Yes going with her was a great Idea. Wanting to drive herself? Well it sounds like she might have wanted to leave her "options". Open. Being there was the RIGHT thing for you to do. I can almost guarantee that she would NOT have come home if you were not there. As for her taking your arm off of her? Well remember our wives sometimes try to blame us for their issues. Deep down inside she may have felt that this was "their last night" and you went and ruined it. NOT that you should not have...but do you understand what I am trying to say. I feel weird giving YOU advise when my sitch is not so much better. It is kind of like a drug addict telling another drug addict how to quit. WE ARE GETTING THERE BUDDY… Remember there IS also a fine line between being there for our wives and giving them space. Yesterday when Son and I got home from vacation. We had bought my mom, MIL and wife presents. Son wanted to go bring MIL hers and wife said she would take him. I kind of wanted to go but I knew W was “uncomfortable” with our soon to be sleeping situation. I also knew that W would probably have a drink with her mom while over there. So I gave her that alone, get ready, have a drink to relax time and I stayed home. If your wife wants to go shopping by herself no problem or just go out for a ride or to see her GIRL friends that is great. But analyze each situation and if there is any chance of temptation…BE THERE for her and yourself. Got ta go fix MIL garage door opener and finish up some homework I did not get done during “vacation” Take care. P.S You really need to get out to California one of these days so we can have a beer.

• P.S.S “They looked more like a couple than we did” REALLY? Or was this just YOUR self esteem, YOUR self worth, YOUR issue kicking in. FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF…He may have been dancing with her when you thought this but she came home to YOU…
And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
