W ended up calling my mother yesterday. They've always been real close and it’s been a couple months since they have spoken. I get the impression that my W is a bit lonely. My mother gave me a play by play of the phone call. W told my mom that I always cut her off to end the phone calls. Yeah, I do end the calls first, I am ok with that. My W also did a lot of complaining to my mom. W talks about her apartment being too small and she’s not talking much with her family. W avoids her family sometimes, she just doesn’t feel like talking with them because they just want to help by providing solutions to W and they can be somewhat critical towards her.
I guess my W also commented to my mother about my receding hairline. Ha, the first sign that I am losing my hair and it just happens to kick in at this point in my life!!!! Go figure.
To sum it up, W is hurting right now. She’s complained for years, she’s very good at complaining and I swear she’s never happy. Yeah, I want to reconcile but no wonder I don’t want to talk with her at times, everything she says is negative, just such a downer. It’s interesting because I am such a positive person, the glass is half full for me.
Adding to the mix is the fact that our kids will be starting school in a couple weeks. We separated right before school got out for the summer so I don’t know if W understands what she’s in for. I am sure there’s going to be additional complaints coming in regards to her job, taking care of the kids, homework, lunches, after school care, etc…She’s going to have a very full plate.
