We hung up on decent terms and she called back.

W: You can have the furniture and the hutch , I dont want it.

M: Its ok, we will have a discussion on the price and move on. Ad for the hUtch, I will keep it safe for you until you need it.

W: Yeah thats smart, I really dont have any room for it anyway.

M: Thats all I was saying. I dont want you yelling at me all the time because if thats the case, then maybe we shouldnt communicate

W: Im having a bad week and had a really bad day.

M: Sorry to hear that. Im working on things. I do want to forgive you for all this

She started to cry and said something that Im not sure what it was.

somthing like , " I would really like that"

W: I hear you got a new washing machine.

M: Yeah, its high effeciency so it made sense, the last one was when we got married over 17 years. IT served its purpose.

W: Did you try and fix it

M: NO, it was passed its prime, I wanted an energy one anyway and it spins so fast, save electricity on drying.

( she seemed a little miffed cause she has an old , small one)
W: Glad you are getting all new stuff, must be nice.

M: Just replacing things as needed.

We talked for about twenty minutes about small things, the kids a bit, about her moms upcoming funeral and that she was looking forward to seeing my new suit. Thats when I told her about me going to church to try and find foregiveness , thats how that came up.. And thats when she started to cry.

She said she wouldnt go to soccer tonight cause she still doesnt feel right around people. Im not sure if thats true.

I coached my son, who she brought late again and didnt stay. And she didnt come back to pick him up. I didnt want to take a chance to drop him off at her place incase OM's truck was there which Im pretty sure it would have been.

So I asked another parent who lived near her to drop him off.

I went home and then heard her honking outside. When I went out to tell her I had somebody drop him off, she said ok and started to go but said first.

" I like your new shirt"

I just said thanks and she drove away.

What a strange exchange.\

There are a few things that were said along the way from the original text to the end , but It NOW strikes me how she can change from avenging angry WAS, to calm , nice girl I married within minutes of the convo.

UGGGGGH
