Feel like I'm living the movie Groundhog Day...

WHG how is it that you know so many details about your Ws day and what she is drinking and with whom?

Because she tells me... why does she tell me? I have no clue, but she does. She tells me where she's going, usually who with, and generally what they're going to do. I don't approve or disapprove because I don't care. Yes I have an opinion on the value of some of it, but that's different than expressing whether she should go or not. And it's her life, so do what you want.

We communicate frequently and on good terms. In this way my sitch is quite a bit unlike others. Yes, she has streaks of being cold and withdrawn, but they usually pass in a 2-4 day timeframe. When they pass we end up back to our status quo. She even tells me stories from her nights out and goings on. I'm sure not everything, probably not even half, but why she does it is beyond me. And it's not done in a snotty or obnoxious way... like, "see what I'm doing and you're not doing it with me". It feels like roommates catching each other up on goings on in life that are amusing or interesting. And over the past eight years I have gotten to know many of my W's friends, done them favors, consider them friends of mine as well so I know the cast of characters.

And oddly I don't share with her much of my life. I leave my GAL and goings-on in mystery. She asks once in a while and I will share some info.

As far as the computer thing... I'm not on as much as it may seem. I type very fast and can pound out even a long post in a short time. By the time I'm done with this post it will be maybe five minutes I'm online. Also, I have an iPad and so places I have down time when kid-less or after everyone is in bed (which is about 9pm in my house) and I have an hour or two before bedtime. Though at work I am probably on too much... I work at a computer most days so I know I need to reduce that. It's actually one of my goals next week... to only come on here once or twice during a work day.
