It really irks me that she can be so F'ing happy. And I have trouble EVERY TIME staying upbeat. I just go neutral.

Read my last 2 posts in my thread about my wife coming home today.
She was singing, SMUG, and took HUGE enjoyment at watching a FRACTION of TIME in my reaction when she blindsided me about moving out.
She kept pressuring me about responding to the divorce complaint and I said "I'll do it in my OWN TIME"
THEN SHE JUST LAUGHED AND SAID "OK", with this SMUG grin on her face. Like she was making fun of me.
There are 2 POSSIBILITIES HERE FOR YOU AND ME.
1) They BELIEVE what is going on in their head is TRUE HAPPINESS (Your wife) or they are 110% CORRECT about something (my wife).
2) They ARE BLUFFING OR FAKING.
In both SITUATIONS, when REALITY SETS IN, shyte is going to HIT THE FAN for them because:
1) You can't make someone REALIZE that they are living a pipe dream.
2) Trying to call their bluff at the WRONG TIME makes you look weak.
So, by logic you and I therefore MUST
1) Wait and bide our time until their happiness poofs away in a cloud of smoke and REALITY SETS IN
2) WE CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS and call their BLUFF AT THE RIGHT TIME.
And by logic, in BOTH CASES, when REALITY SETS IN, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT LOSE IT because they realize they were living a pipe dream, or that we MASTERFULLY outplayed them. They CAN'T DEAL with that type of ADVERSITY like you and I now can.
So after I left, my intel system caught her talking to her mom, and i SPECIFICALLY heard:
"He's BLUFFING about not selling the house, I totally think when I move out he will be packing up too. IF NOT, then I am going to have to call my lawyer and see what's next".
So, I REGAINED MY COMPOSURE after a messup, and HELD STRONG. She THEN HAD TO CALL HER MOOOOOOMMMMYYYYYY. WAAAHHHHHHHH.
And do you know why YOU AND ME come out on top?
Because we have done the preparation, we have soul-searched, we have faced down our demons, and we have stared utter despair in the face and chosen to rise to the occasion, we have found strength inside weakness, and we haven't run from our fears and insecurities.
