Possible WAW to Piecing? (Part 2)

[rh24]

Yeah, it was not cool of me...I was about to drop the discussion, but THEN I realized...I missed the opportunity to ask her how SHE felt about what I had said. Then I thought - OH, I ALMOST MISSED THE CHANCE TO LISTEN AND VALIDATE HER! And that's when I pushed the conversation past her breaking point and she got up to go sleep in son's bed, I followed and BAM.

Stupid. Should have been listening/validating from the get go. Another lesson learned - I spent a chunk of time yesterday reading 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and it was talking about stopping my approval seeking behavior. THAT is what I was trying to accomplish with the discussion, and of course, it made her mad because I wasn't bending over like I almost always do.

I feel like I need a game plan for tonight.

D has a back-to-school thing from 5-6pm. I REALLY want to go. Son has soccer practice at either 5:30 or 6 and I have to volunteer at our soccer tournament from 6-8pm.

Right now there is no plan with W around this and I'll need to leave work very soon if I'm going to D's school thing.

Wondering if I should call or just show up?

Also - it's good I won't be home until later, but I plan to sleep in our bed and hope she does too! Guess I just assume that's the case, get in bed and see if she joins...OR if she gets in bed first, just get in too.
