My story, my progress, my hope

Interesting weekend. Friday my W had her big test to get her state license in psychology. That morning she sent me a text “This morning, I found a penny on the floor right where I step to get out of bed! And I’ve been fretting this test today. I never have coins in my room…they are always in my purse:-) good sign:-)” I responded with “You will do great. It does not matter what happens. Either way you are still going to be you and I think that is an amazing accomplishment” She responded “Thanks!”

I had hoped she would text me when she was done to let me know how it went but no such luck. I ended going over to an old friends and spending the evening hanging out.

So my W came down to my house the next morning and told me that she ended up going to the lake with her good friends. Apparently she got upset with her good friend because she was up there and everyone was going skinny dipping and my W said no she did not want to go. Her friends kept pushing her to do it and she got upset and left at about midnight and came home. It takes a lot to get my W upset so it must have been pretty bad for her to leave.

She asked me about my night and I told her I spent the evening with an old friend and she asked who she was. I told her she was an old friend that I use to work with her and her husband. At about that point my kids were asking about lunch so she left and I took my kids out. My W called me about 30 min later. She said she needed to ask me something because if she did not it would drive her crazy. She proceeded to ask me if I was out on a date last night. I kind of cracked up and told her no. I told her that I was just trying to get out and I thought it was funny that the first time I went out she got worried that I was out on a date but she has been out parting with her friends a lot and that there was a single guy in the group that she kept talking about and even shared a room in a cabin with him. She said she understood and that no she was not seeing or dating anyone.
So we kind of left it at that and that afternoon we went over to swim and out for sushi.

I think that was a good sign and so very proud of her for not being pushed into doing something like that. Made me feel a whole lot better about things!!

Any other thoughts from my forum friends?
