Last night after dinner was GAL time. I had plans to go out with a friend.
While W was cooking dinner she turned to me and gave me a big hug. She said, "I wish you weren't going out so we could hang out." I smiled and replied, "We have Saturday!" She responded, "ugh. yeah... but we have to go to my brother's birthday party." Tonight she's going out with girlfriends.
Before I left I changed into my nice "going out" clothes and freshened my cologne. W gave me a once over glance but didn't comment. She didn't ask where I was going.
I went out to a bar we don't usually go to and saw a band. It was a good time! My buddy and I talked about putting together a small group of guys to jam. It's time to really start playing the guitar again!

W was angry this morning. S didn't sleep well and she felt that I should have helped throughout the night because she was coming down with a cold. I sleep like a rock and she often ends up dealing with S. I've told her 100 times to wake me and I'll help. I commented, "You didn't ask me for help."
She snapped back at me. I calmly told her, "W, I really struggle to read your mind when I'm awake. It's especially hard when I'm sleeping. I'm willing to help, but you need to ask me."

Last weekend W said it would be fun to go to a concert that was advertised on the radio. We're going to the show next week. Hopefully this helps if she's "bored" with us.
It's interesting... in the last 1.5 months W and I have gone out together more than the past year combined.
That's a good thing. If your are like me, you are just fine being at home, hanging out, and being content. People like me/us, need to remember that others need more excitement, more variety.
