Learning slowly...
Spent Friday night & Saturday at D23's house; got to play with our grand daughter while waiting at D13's orientation.
Spent most of the weekend with my mouth shut, unless I was asked something. Just spent more time listening than talking - on purpose. In front of D13 & D23, W did again mention the issue about her restaurant and equipment and my saying I didn't care about it.
So, using 25's script I said: 'I thought I had apologized for this misunderstanding before. Have I said or done something like it again?'
Her response was: 'Not really, not really sure why I keep bringing it up.'
Got back home Saturday evening. D21 had a friend spending the night (sleeping in the spare room) so W was back in the main bedroom - and I really didn't know what to say or do. I knew she was exhausted and had to be at work at 10am Sunday morning, so I planned on just sleeping on the couch. W said she wasn't going to kick me out of my room and that I could sleep in there with her, and I could watch some TV with her in there.
Well, she went to sleep with 10 minutes of that conversation, and I slept out on the couch anyhow. I can't really put into words why felt it necessary, I just did. Sleeping in the same bed right now, with her having moved out of the bedroom, just doesn't seem 'right' to me (we even slept in separate beds at D23's house). Do I want that back? YES! But not for one night. Did I miss an opportunity for being close again? I doubt it - she slept out on the couch; falling asleep there last night after work.
