Got home last night, and the W was upset that she had cooked dinner and I was going to go have pizza with my sister's husband. I cancelled that and stayed and ate spaghetti with the family. She was really cold/hostile until she realized I had eaten all my dinner. She thinks I hate her cooking.
I was super happy and upbeat, making jokes with our Ds and just having a fun dinner. She was still edgy when we took our oldest D to her Bible class. There she started to relax. I was playing with our pastor's nephew, and that was funny; it also showed my ease with kids that she's always liked. She had enjoyed the music in the car, and did so again on the way home, singing along with my daughters.
When we got home, we readied the girls for bed, and as soon as they were tucked in, she went straight to bed with a book.
I went into the bedroom, changed into my workout clothes and said I was off to the gym. She didn't say anything, just looked at me. Came home about an hour later and she was asleep.
I'll chalk this up as a win. I was (still am) in a great mood. I got a great meal, a good work out, and some time with my daughters. The wife relaxed despite wanting to stay in a shitty mood; she had sent me a lot of emails about how "I wouldn't like her spaghetti anyways" that showed some negativity.
