I got invited to go up North with some friends for some R&R on the same weekend that she is going to another city. I told them I would go. She is now all upset and-if you can believe this-she is now unable to find a baby sitter for the kids. I told her that it was not problem I could make it for another weekend--but I am gonig to go. I really need the weekend away to do some running and biking. I may even go out to a bar but I really just want some alone time to challenge me physically and test my endurance-- and to think. She then went on to say that she doesn't get a weekend off (not true) and that is why she is thinking of seperating. Unfortunately for her, I work weekends and she would have the kids unless I take a vacation day. I will if we are still together but if we seperate then she is on her own. This is something that I am going to save for MC.
On a side note, my oldest daughter was looking at the W cell phone photos and the W flipped out. I guess the OM is on her phone. It just digusts me.
In regards to your question, this is a new complaint. However, she has always refered the decision up to me as to where we eat and what movie we see. There have been times when she wanted to see a chick flick and I wasn't happy about that. So that is an example of me be controlling. I can see her point but sometimes she needs to put her foot down and say that this is what I want to see.
I really am looking for some boundries and how to enforce them. I don't think I am going to give up the weekend but she really wants me too. She is still attached to the OM and yet she is jealous of me taking a weekend away. Does that make sense????
