Well, my son felt good enough to go shopping for his Halloween costume and a new pair of gym shoes. He shredded the 1st pair in the first two months of school.

He developed a 100.8 degree fever about 3 hours after we got home though, so i gave him some childrens ibuprofen and that took care of the fever, so he was good to go to school this morning.

My wife finally texted last night to see how he was doing. She should have followed up on Saturday instead if she really was concerned like a mother should be. I will give her a return call in a while, but i am not responding immediately.

Now, is that right?

Since it's about our son, should i reply sooner?

I really would like some advice and mentoring please.

I don't want to further alienate her feelings towards me. This is SO opposite of how i would have responded at any other point in our marriage, but is it right to do a 180 when it comes to letting her know how our son is doing?

I realized yesterday that this past Saturday was Sweetest Day. I never missed getting and doing things for her, even in the past 3 years since d-day. I had a private meltdown thinking about how much i enjoyed getting her gifts and always filling out the cards with loving sentiments. Dang, i still miss the woman i married.

I still am trying to show detachment though, even if it hurts more to act that way.

Can somebody talk to me. I feel pretty lonely posting several days in a row and not getting feedback.
