I had a great time visiting with my family over the weekend. It was much needed.
I had a suprising phone call Friday afternoon. My FIL called me up to see how things were going. He said that W hasn't offered much in the way of what was going on with her or what happened between us. He didn't know we were having problems. I told him that I can't speak for her. But I did know that I wasn't giving her all that she needed or deserved to be a happily married woman. It wasn't something I did on purpose and was unaware at the time, but I can clearly see my faults in things now.
He was quite nice and offered some reading material that he found helpful during one of his rough spots. He said to hang in there. That he thought I was a good man and father. That he thought she was making a mistake. That he hoped she would give it another chance.
I thanked him for the kind words and asked him to not do anything on my part in talking to her. I told him that I didn't think it would help my situation at all for her to think I was going behind her back. I told him I just want her to be happy.
Anyway, quite a shocking conversation because I was not expecting it at all.
