Iw, my W was attending my future SIL's bachelorette party. I was hosting the bachelor's party. Most of the men with me were the husbands of the females attending the other party. Late in the evening, frankly, well after midnight, all the other men with me started getting texts from the female party except me. I caved and sent her a message that stated, "I hope you are your crew are had a wonderful time tonight. ;-) Be careful getting home."

NO response whatsoever. I know, I am attaching expectations and thinking too much. But, would it have killed her to simply send back, "You too." Really, would that have been so freaking hard?!?!? 15 damned years together and I am no longer worth a six letter response??? Really? She has an Iphone. It would have taken 4 seconds to type that and hit send. 4 seconds!!!!

I am just getting tired of the games. She comes here this week, hugs me, asks about me, gets misty-eyed when talking to me, gets whats she wants from the house and then can't find the time to send a six letter response to a simple gesture?

I know, as 2step said, I am attaching expectations. But, for 15 years, I would catch a ration of hell if I didn't call her every day when we were apart. Now, I am supposed to accept the fact that she cannot type up a 6 letter response. Yes, I admit it. I EXPECTED a response. Guilty as charged. But, was that too much to ask? Funny, when she needs something from the f*cking house or money or furniture, I seem to be able to find the time for her. But, last night, she could not find 4 damned seconds for me!?!?!?

I found the time to get boxes out of the attic, I found the time to help her pack, I found the time to go away so she could come in here with her family and move her stuff. I always seem to be able to find the time for her. Yet, four seconds was just too much of a burden for her last night. Four seconds!! Count with me. One. Two. Three. Four. Done. I am sorry, but I am going to have to remember this the next time she needs something from me. Maybe I have been too available, too nice, too accommodating. I may have to rethink my need to help her out all the time.

I am sorry BITS, I am just venting. I will be over this by the morning. My apologies...

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
That it wasn't really wasted time...
