Remember last Sat night when I told my wife she had to leave by the 1st? And sleep on the couch? Wow, sure changed her attitude, right? She wants to do MC, etc. All because she's scared of me giving her the boot. Sound familiar to you? It should.
She's playing you. Just as my wife is playing/cake-eating with me.
Stick to your guns, don't be all melty man, and don't use your son...
