Been a few days since I have posted here. Had another awesome weekend with my family.
On Friday W told me my mom had sent her a letter. This was unbeknownst to me. Told W that you saw that you updated your f/b status as separated. Like I have no control over W I don't have any control over the W. W had a few glasses of wine and I fought off her advances three times, but gave in. I had no expectations that this would change things or make it better. Nothing was said in the morning.
W and D6 met her friend for a St Patrick's Day Parade. Me and S10 ran errands and picked up a few things for our upcoming trip, new family camera and another I-Pad. Money has been a hot button issue for us in the past. W was concerned about the stuff we bought. I told her that we were taking a family trip and that we bought these things for the family.
W's sister dropped our niece and we had a nice cookout and took a walk for ice cream. W and I then sat and watched the NCAA tournament.
On Sunday took the family and W's Sister and Niece to the Zoo. Before we left, W asked "What if the trip doesn't work?" Caught me off guard, told her I was living my life day by day. Wanted to say you first have to decide if you want to work on our M. She advised that she is always expecting the worse. I then said lets have a good time with the family.
We then went to the Zoo and then went out to eat. When we got home W, SIL and I then sat in the backyard and talked for 3 hours. I would never have done this before so I was happy that SIL was opening up to me. We are even talking on the phone.
When SIL left we had a nice night with the kids. We are now talking with each other more than we have been in years.
W was in good spirits this morning and even initated playful contact with me.
After reading the working on your marriage without talking about it I have been trying to apply some of these things with my W. I know that I am putting the cart before the horse, but I really liked some of the stuff in the book. It made a lot of sense to me. I am now reading the 5LL.
