W went out for a happy hour again after work. She came home as S and I were finishing dinner.
We played with him and put him to bed. She left to go to a bar again.
She was distant and barely talking to me. She played cheerfully with S but didn't talk directly to me at all. She'd barely even looked at me.
After S went to bed we talked for about 15 minutes before she left. She had a horrible day at work. She said it felt like everyone is ignoring her. She again complained about her two-faced coworkers. She said she actually stood up for herself to one of them for talking about her behind her back. She proudly said, "this is the new me!" I was really surprised. She usually tries to keep peace with coworkers/friends and lets things slide.
She said she asked one of her coworker friends to happy hour because of her bad day... It hurt because she used to want to spend time with me when she had a rough day.
For me and GAL: I started listening to an audio book of How to Win Friends and Influence People I the Digital Age. I haven't learned anything yet that can be used in my relationship with my wife in its current status. However, I'm already picking up on its values for relationships with friends and coworkers. Especially as I'm trying to move up within my career as a Project Manager.
