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

OW and looking up information on "Aries and Taurus" love horoscopes.

OMG... your comment totally brought back the memory of this past July when things really started heading south b/w W and I. She had come back from this music party and I knew something was wrong. I was super-snoopy and ended up checking her internet history on her netbook. Found searches for astrological love matches between her sign and this other guy's sign. Then, when those didn't give good results, my W went and looked up that article from early this year where someone created a new sign and adjusted all the other signs. That got her the result she wanted. I look back at that now and think, how pathetic... you're looking up some made-up crap and then when it doesn't say what you want (which is BS to start with) you look up made up stuff about the made up stuff. Wow.

I had to become the primary parent taking care of things.

I know... so have I. That's all I could think of when my W left for her party two nights ago and didn't come home until 7am. She left 30 minutes after our S getting home from the ER and he was still having respiratory distress. Granted... was he in dire straits? No. But I'm fairly certain if you poll 10 moms who have five year olds, and their five year old just came home from the ER with breathing problems... 9 out of 10 would probably cancel and stay home.

Do your best to understand that and manage expectations accordingly

I have been... this is just my place to vent. I don't rely on, or plan on her really at all anymore. If I do I check, double-check, and then have a back-up plan. And even this it sometimes blows up.
