Made it through the evening. Had a good time with the guys. Left the girls to themselves. It's pretty much impossible to carry a conversation with my wife. She really seem like she doesn't want to have anything to do with me. It really comes across as quite juvenile like were are in high school and I don't fit in with her "in" crowd. She treats me like I am socially undesirable. I think we spoke a total of maybe four times all night.
It is quite refreshing when I get a chance to spend time with people away from her. I am so used to getting negative feedback from her that it feels great to experience the sincerity and acceptance of others. I really do have some great friends and I get treated nicely by perfect strangers. Much more kindly than I am treated by my own wife. My wife went from being kind and loving to being my biggest and most harsh critic overnight. Its pretty hard to endure.
I noticed she was wearing her wedding ring today. She put it on prior to everyone arriving. Guess I'll soon find out if it was just for the party or if it is on tomorrow as well.
I do want to thank those of you who have replied to me. It's nice to hear from you, get your insight and a sympathetic ear.
