Our story

Well, about an hour and a half after my last post, while still at work, my wife texted to thank me for the presents. I said I hoped she liked them and she said she for and I said I was glad to hear it. I was prepared to let it go at that, but she asked what time I thought I would be home. She hasnt asked that for some time, at least since well before announcing her divorce decision. When I gave it my best guess she said, as if in warning, that she would probably still be in the house. I said that would be fine.

Sure enough she was here, and of course it was just fine with me. We greeted each other politely, and I hit the shower. Afterword, I opened her gifts to me and the gift from a family friend (who's the closest thing to a father she has). They were pretty nice. We even had some small talk - mainly about her sisters rapidly approaching wedding. She was pretty subdued but not totally withdrawn.

I even got to work in a little compliment, asking if she liked a couple of the shirts i got. She mentioned the size, but said she thought she would fit into them soon because she's loosing weight. I, of course, know she's been working pretty hard at that. I said I had the receipts if she wanted to exchange them but also that I thought they would be just fine because shed already lost a lot. I know it's risky from a DBing perspective but it seemed to go over well.

She's off to go tanning now (I never thought she actually NEEDS to, but it DOES seem to help her moods when she does it regularly and I'm definitely all for THAT). She thinks she has to because she has to be in a bridesmaids dress on Friday. Honestly, I'm not sure if she's coming back here or going back to wherever she's staying - I didn't ask and the rest of my evening doesn't really revolve around it anyway. BUT I feel like it was a very positive round of interactions and thought I would share it.
