The availability thing is something I've struggled with, and I know I need to be better. Even when I'm out doing something by myself, or with my brothers, she'll ask if she can come along, or drop by for a beer. I generally (I might as well say always) try to make it work....even if I'm getting ready to get up and go, I'll stick around and wait for her. She definitely takes me for granted....watching the kids, house chores, etc, and this is just one more example of it. Agreed....I will focus on this.
The problem I have run into on GALing is that it becomes 20 questions with her, and complaining. For example, if I do something for me, she goes on and on about where were you, who were you with, are you looking for someone, etc. I struggle to create mystery when she's like this. And should I be busy 2 of 3 times, I can see her complaining "you never make time for me." I'm not sure where that goes from there.
