Currently, I am out of town again on a trip. I left on Thursday. It is now Monday and I have heard from my wife a total of three times. The first time, she texted me about our youngest daughter's birthdate in my calendar being incorrect. She did add to it. That was nice to see. I jokingly let her know that I actually DO know our daughter's birthday, I wanted to get a "head start" on it. (My daughter had wanted her birthday coded in my calendar with her favorite color. When I did that, the date must have gotten changed.) That was Thursday.
The next was a phone call. Logistics stuff only. Got a kind of soft "bye" on the end. The kind of way she used to talk to me when she would tell me she loved me. I always took it as a signal of an open door to comm with her again. That's stuff entirely in my head and she has never told me that this is what she means by it, so it may mean nothing at all. That was again on Thursday.
Last comm was an email that I received on Sunday. It had no greeting or signature. Only a body. One sentence pertaining to a request for receipts. Other than that... nothing.
Our kids spent Saturday night at the guy's place with his daughter. W went out with girlfriends again. W had told me they would be going out for a birthday. Haven't heard anything after that about it. I won't ask and she probably won't volunteer. As I mentioned earlier, these outings have a tendency to happen at dance clubs and I think dance clubs are a recipe for disaster for a marriage. We had a MAJOR setback at a club together last week.
I'll get home on Tuesday morning. Wife is scheduled to leave town the next day to see relatives for a week. That will make it two weeks apart.
W had complained before that I always wanted to talk too much on the phone. That I would get upset when she didn't want to talk. A 180 I am doing is NOT calling her. It is a struggle for me, but I have answered her call and responded to her text and email and that is it. This is the first time I have done that. It will be five days with no comm from me except to respond to her pinging me.
