Here we go again...

I practiced validating briefly this morning. I looked at her when she was talking, and listened.. really listened. She didn't seem to notice.

This morning she said we needed to better coordinate who would be watching our son. She said we can't keep assuming the other person will be there. She suggested that I have him on Saturday and she'll have him on Sunday. She suggested many activities I could do on Sunday, all away from the house.

This plan hurts deep. It was a sudden realization that up to this point her words were just words. Aside from not wearing her ring and sleeping on the couch, there had been very little action. Now she is looking for, and creating, more separation. For lack of a better idea, I agreed to her terms. I don't know what I'm going to do on Sunday. In the past the weekends have typically been for family time.
