Recovering after a same sex affair - Part 4

[sparks14]

I think the angry stage has begun with my W. I haven't seen this side of her yet, and I have not changed. That will not stop her from trying to prove that I haven't changed and throw punches.

W came by this morning to pick up our S for daycare on the way to her work. We do this every other morning, so I am very used to the procedure. I am not a morning person, but I have been unusually upbeat and friendly for the last few months. Call it a 180.

Since it is Monday, I had washed and folded all of the day care linens for my S and put them in a shopping bag for my W. I also included 10 days worth of solid food and put his name on each one. I prepared his bottles for the day and had them waiting in the fridge. I had woken him up, changed his diaper, put on his clothes for the day, and was in the process of feeding him when she got there. She immediately starts throwing punches.

First it was questioning everything to be prepared. Yes, they are in the bag. She then goes into how the formula for my S is stored. Had I been washing the storage bin between each refill. I had not. Great to know. I told her thank you for the heads up and that I would do so from now on.

I asked her if she was able to catch up on sleep and if her allergies were getting better. She appeared annoyed that I asked about her but said that she didn't sleep well and was congested. I gave her a simple "ok" back. She then gets upset and tells me that she does not believe any of my questions to be genuine to her. My answer this morning qualified that. I validated her feelings and told her that my intentions where genuine. I explained that I had just woken up after a night of wakeups with our baby and was still a bit out of it. My answer may have been simple, but it was genuine.

To add one more punch. My W asks me why the bottles I had prepared in the fridge were not in the plastic bag and placed in the bag with the other belongings. I explained that I was just keeping them cold but was about to take them out for her. She told me that she was late and proceeded to do it on her own. 15 seconds later, bottles were in the bag. Then out the door she went.

When she left, I was so upset and about to pull my hair out.

Then out of nowhere came something very unexpected. Almost as if she pulled out the driveway and realized how nasty she was, she called me that she had noticed the yard bags out front. She said that she wanted to tell me yesterday but had forgotten. "The yard looks really nice." I told her that I worked for hours in the yard the previous day and was very thankful for her words. I was really happy to get those positive words when I feel like she has been going out of her way to be really nasty to me.

She then sends me a few emails from work about a few things and closes to tell me that she hopes I have a good day I haven't gotten one of those emails in a while. So weird.

Wow. Maybe I should not over analyze this, but this has been a recent phenomenon. What is making her so angry at me now? I go back to that quote from MichelleLT that I posted the other day. Is this really a good thing? Am I reading into this too much?
