We got an offer on the house but it was a little too low. We countered but it was not accepted. W really wanted to try to make the deal work but it doesn’t look like it will happen with these buyers. W and I talked quite a bit on the phone the past two weeks about the house. If I called she answered most of the time and if I left her a voice mail she returned my call within a ½ hour. She initiated emails too.
Our talks on the phone were good in that we were very nice to each other. I even got her to laugh a couple of times during one of our phone conversations. Haven’t heard her laugh since she left, that was nice to hear again.
She emailed both my email accounts on Friday to ask if I had heard anything about offer for house. I’d say he was curious. We also need to purchase something for the house and she said she would give me the money for it…I didn’t ask, she offered.
I don’t know if some of this recent interaction is good or not. We’ve talked just about every day for the past three weeks (just about house though). For the past week or so I’ve become very angry for some reason. I think it’s for two reasons. First is that I am the only one dealing with the house and for the past two weeks I’m the only one calling the banks to deal with our loans. It's just like the past 2-3 years when I took care of all of the difficult issues and she doesn't help. I’ve done an open house for the past three weekends. That’s fine as it’s part of what I need to do as the agent to sell the house, however I feel like I’m the only one truly making the effort to take care of these things.
Second thing I think I’m angry about is that here we are many months into this and she has made no effort to work on this M. If I had remained the same person I was when she left then this would make sense. This just seems ridiculous at this point that she can’t grow up and talk to me.
I am trying not to show my emotions towards her right now. I’m hoping my anger/resentment passes. I don’t want to say or do something that will set us back. I didn’t respond to her Friday email until yesterday. It took a lot for me to even respond to her right now. I responded with only three short sentences. I’m not sure why all of a sudden I have this resentment towards her especially when we’ve been getting along and communicating well the past three weeks. Maybe I’m just tired of this game.
Oh, almost forgot, I didn’t do one thing for our wedding anniversary last week. We talked on the phone that day too about the house and I didn’t mention anything and neither did she.
