WHG: When last we heard from our action hero...

[2thepoint]

"My gut tells me she got too close after I came back from being gone... things really were open those first three days... and it scared her so she's really pulling back. I'm just keeping on like I don't care. Didn't even tell her goodbye or I'm leaving this morning, just gave the kids hugs and kisses and walked out the door."

So you think she is scared and instead of keeping the path home smooth and paved, you ignore her and leave without saying goodbye? And how does that help your cause? Just asking...

My opinion about telling the kids is that they already know something is up with you and your W. It is written all over both of your faces. If you aren't or can't tell the kids right now then you should at least try to do something that eases some of the tension.

We've already established that your week away seemed to have triggered some changes, so maybe some more detachment would help. Maybe you move downstairs to the basement, (suck it up and do it instead of waiting for your W to make the first move). If nothing else, it will force your W to own up to her actions and realize that she is moving down a perilous path and that a course correction may be needed. And maybe, just maybe the tension will ease some since there will now be some space between you two.

Just an idea, WHG.....
