Thread #7 - What goes down, might come up.

[Navyguy]

Well, I'm still stuck/lost and don't know what I want to do next regarding W. I feel like I've let myself and all of you down. W was headed toward "rock bottom" and I threw her a rope. On the plus side, W has cut back significantly on the drinking for a full week now.

Ohio BFF was supposed to be stopping back by DC on the way home from her vacation, but I guess she had a rough time with her son and decided to go straight home. Oh well.

Saturday was S4's birthday. We had D6's soccer game in the morning and then did a team party at Red Robin afterwards. We also celebrated S4's birthday there. Then we were invited to hang out with some friends. I had a great time - playing with the kids and chatting it up with my friends and some people I had just met. W kinda sat there looking dejected and texting her Ohio BFF for a good part of the time we were there. There was a fairly attractive woman at the party who I didn't know...there was a couple times where I was playing with the kids and she came over and started playing too. I'm pretty sure it was driving W nuts to see that. There was also a previously D'd woman there with her new fiancee...she seemed like a great person.

Thinking I need to step up the GAL a bit...for myself.

Yesterday W was friendly, probably because it was father's day. We went out to breakfast and then went to miniature golf and the swimming pool. I had a great time with the kids at the pool. W just sat alone on a lounge chair the entire time. Nothing new there. When it was time to go, W started getting in a pissy mood because she was hot. Not really my problem...there was a lovely 75 degree swimming pool about 10 feet away!!! When we got home, W made dinner...it was good. Afterwards, I was cleaning up and W told me she'd get it, which was nice.

So....I don't know what to make of things...and I know all these little day-to-day details don't really matter much at this point.
