Fell,

It works better for the board and to keep track of you if you keep one thread for all your posts until you reach 100 posts, (not pages)and then start a new one.

What were the things that your W took? Were they things she really needed or is it possible that she was checking up on you?

Just walking in the door IMO without knocking and waiting for you to let her in is very rude. After all it was her choice to leave the home.

I don't think it went that badly. You were in the process of getting ready to go out, that had to be obvious to her. You didn't answer her phone call in the first place, I'm sure that irritated her right from the get go and that is good, after all, you're not sitting there at home pining for her, you were getting ready to go out. Good for you for GAL and she could plainly see that you are.

Do not bring it up to her about not getting the text that she said she sent. Let anything that you are doing remain a mystery to her. It's human nature to want that which you think you can't have. Keep doing what you're doing, you're on the right track and your confidence will keep increasing. Women love a confident man!

Great job on getting the house decorated!!!

It sounds like you're extremely busy, but if you find time, how about posting a little more frequently? LOL I was beginning to wonder what happened to you.

Keep up the good job, you're doing great!
