My aunt texted me today, who doesnt know about my situation with wife, and wanted to get parents address to send a thank you note and a gift. I didn't remember my in-laws address so I decided to text my wife briefly to get it. I texted the following:
" My aunt would like to send your parents a thank you card and a gift for taking the time to help with the land lease. May I give it to her?"
She replied with " Of course. The address is xxxxxxxx. How are you doing?"
I replied with " Thank you. I am doing good. I haven't felt this focused in a long time. Just keeping busy with work, keeping up with the house, and working out at the YMCA during the week. How have you been?"
She replied " I'm good....starting back to school this week and taking time to catch up with friends. Glad you're keeping busy. How is the new medication working for you?"
My response was, " It has been working great. No side affects and I don't feel uptight or nervous like I used to. I have also changed my diet and with working out I feel great. I am not tired all the time like I used to be. I am happy that you are spending time with friends, and wish you the best in school. I am about to go buy some groceries, but will talk with you later. Take Care. It is good to hear from you."
I am proud of myself for ending the conversation the way I did, and felt pretty good afterwards. Any critique on how I handled things or advice?
