21 years of marriage hanging by a thread

Parents came over. She ate a great meal, so she had more than a beer and chips tonight. Only spoke directly to me a few times all night. She talked all night. Watched the kids dance to songs and everyone laughed. As soon as parents left she poured a glass of wine and I went to bed. She played guitar songs/played computer for 2 hours then went to bed.

Tomorrow home builder and wife said they are coming over around the same time (about when she gets off work). So maybe she can have another night of talking and not isolation. At least her stomach had something on it when she drank this time. I counted her pills and they are all there. She didn't take any today.

I put the kids in bed and got their teeth brushed. She set out DD clothes and I set out DS clothes. She did do two domestic chores which right now anything to do with the home she abhors. She did the dishes for everyone and did the laundry. I learned how to fold my shirts with at table in college decades ago and she liked the way and has been using it for decades. I asked her while she was folding do you remember where you learned that? She said, It was probably the way you told me to do it" and I said, "ouch, don't you mean the way I showed you?" She has always thought I was controlling. A A week or so ago she said, "You are controlling I am unaffectionate and neither one of us are going to change."
