Sitting at home with myself, part 2

[Navyguy]

Thanks all for the responses. Glad to hear I didn't totally f things up.

Karma: I agree, and am planning to act "as-if" when I get home. In fact I had to call her for something today and acted "as-if" on the phone. She didn't seem very cold or distant when I talked to her.

2step: I agree with her taking ownership eventually. She actually did admit last night that she might have been a little too subtle when conveying her needs to me. That was earlier in the convo so I'm not sure she walked away thinking about that though. I definitely don't want to make these "talks" a habit. Also, you were right (as usual) about the boomerang...it just came back in a different way than I had imagined. And trust me when I tell you that I, along with about everyone else on here, reads every single thing you post on every thread.

Gr8: SIL actually said that W and I shouldn't be sharing a bed, not D5 and W or I. I agree with you that it is not good for D5. I have no idea how to handle that conversation with W now that I have been sleeping in D5's bed for the past 6 nights without it seeming like I'm trying to be manipulative and get us both back in the same bed.

Denver: It was a good step...and I think it was good that she recognized that she was "unloading" on me. It was still very hard to hear though...and I'm sure she'll be watching me very closely over the next couple days to see what I do with what she said.
