Thanks for checking in Rick. Hope you and everyone else had a great Christmas, too.
Just a journal "lite" for me....
My W came over for a couple hours on Christmas morning. It was a little different because my S was the only one who had gifts to unwrap. I guess things aren't just peachy in my W's world. I just listened and validated. I'm so detached these days for the most part that I was just listening as a friend at this point with no expectations. I went to my Mom's side of the family for Christmas after she came over.
I've been off work all week. Trying to maximize my time with my S.
I've gotten some exercise this week. Went for a 8.6 mile bike ride on Monday and a 3 mile run today.
My W and I got into a fight yesterday. I ended up doing a 180 at the end - probably not anywhere close to textbook DB'ing, but I just made her listen to my point of view of where I was when the fight began without her interrupting. I had to stop her from interrupting at least twice. I just politely asked her to listen. What had happened was it was not planned for her to be with my S last night, but she called the house, my S answered, and the next thing I knew she was at the front door. I was visibly upset - she could tell by my body language and the fight ensued. It was actually kind of refreshing in a strange way. We didn't fight much during the time we were together. I was too concerned with walking on eggshells not trying to rock the boat. Now I have nothing to lose. What's she going to do - D me?
My S and I had a good time tonight. We went to a skiing place and did some snow tubing. We were there until 1:00 in the morning. We had a good time together.
I've also been busy this week planning a New Year's Eve party at my house. I am hosting my Tuesday night group from church (a.k.a. the Ladies' group) for New Year's Eve.
We had a good time together.
