My W brought my S over tonight for the exchange. I can't say I did the best job of DB'ing, at least at first.
A little background: we had very casually agreed at one point the exchange time on Sundays would be 6:00 pm. It has been a long, long time since we've had to cross that bridge. Most of the previous Sundays where my S's been with my W, I have picked him up for church on Sunday morning or I've just had him on Saturday night before.
6:30 rolls around, I haven't heard from my W. I started getting pretty ticked off. I just texted her a quick "where are you?" She replied and said they were fishing and it would be about 30 minutes. Later, she sends a text and says it would be 7:30. She does get to the house right about 7:30. The first thing I did was extend my left arm, look at my watch, and say we need to talk about how these Sundays are going to go. That got her pretty ticked off at that point. She pointed out, and she was right, that we really hadn't talked about it beforehand. I backed off at that point and we agreed (at her suggestion) that we talk about the exchange time well in advance. In retrospect, I should have taken the lead on this and should have done so before today.
After the brief skirmish, the rest of the exchange was as pleasant as usual. She looked nice tonight and I complimented her. She said she thought about going to a festival today, but she was really tired, and really wanted a couple of consecutive days off. I also found out she's about 1.5 weeks tardy on picking up her ADs.
After that, my S and I went out to dinner, and it was just a mundane grocery night for my S and I.
