Good ideas Bond. if this continues I will ask her. But I don't want to appear to be the idiot husband who doesn't get it. Just in a weird place now.
I guess after reading DB and having no R talk hammered into you, I get a little reticent to talk about things that are burning her out. Yes I assumed (I know wrong) that it was the M stuff when it could've been nothing to do with that.
So instead I watched the kids while she went out for a run.
I feel in someways my W is regressing through the WAW. I mean she's been really griping about little stuff lately. This morning she had to run into work for her credentialing. She came back and starts griping to me about the dogs. She then asked why I was so grouchy, I told her that she just started in on me. I mean it wasn't a huge blow up or anything. I think it the past, it could have easily gone that route.
She later apologize via text for being grouchy. I do wonder about how this grouchiness is affecting our ability to move forward. I mean for the most part, we've been drama free the past 5 days or so. But I also don't feel that we are progressing either. Good thing we have an MC session on Friday. Those are usually productive.
I know this week is going to be tough on my W, mostly with work. So I'll just try to make things good for her at home.
One of the things, I'm most surprised about is how much I enjoy my W as a friend. I know we lost a lot of that, but it's good to see it start to come back.
And like I said, she is clearly looking for opportunities to do things together and as a family. She asked me yesterday if I wanted to do a 5K with her and we'd get a sitter for the kids. Then today she asked me if I wanted to go to an open house as a family. So with that stuff I' see she's trying
