How much longer in Separated?

Good talk with W last night, she was headed back to Port Arthur from Houston. She was a bit vague about her insurance meeting, but said it went well. She had done a lot of research and they were impressed.

She also said she tried a new tactic with FIL. He started railing at her about something they've been over many times before. She sat silent, let him finish, then didn't give any response. No nod, nothing. He was taken aback, there was a long, drawn out silence, and he said "are you asleep?" She said, "I have nothing to add to this conversation". So he tried again with the same response, and let up after that.

She said "I'll make my decision and let you know". I can't help but wonder what this big issue was, but I told W that her stand was impressive. I don't think I could do that.

Wise people don't allow negative feelings or the absence of loving feelings to make them question their commitment to their spouses.

Went to the conference my friends are in town for, it was great. Watched kick-ass later at their hotel and loved it. I called W briefly, she had heard of the hotel, GFIL stayed there 20 years ago and still talks about it. That was fun. My friends described The Warwick as "the kind of hotel James Bond would stay in". Fun times.
