Yesterday went flying after work, getting closer to solo. After flying, met my W and family at the school where my 2nd D was in a band concert. Throughout the concert my W was carrying on a text conversation with somebody. I guess she can't enjoy the moment.
At home, kids asleep my W talked to me for about 45 minutes about her day at work. I just sat, listened, and chimed in now and then. Not trying to fix anything for her.
In bed, she said to me, "You looked cute when we were talking to [xxx] mom after the concert." I replied, "thanks, but I think handsome is a better word." This comment made me think about the book MMSL where he says how being around other women makes you more alpha and more attractive to your W.
My W then said, "you're a good man." I think my W thinks she is bad in that she knows at some level that some of her behavior is not good, but she does it anyway. This is more than mind-reading because when I was snooping on her, she wrote these types of things to her friends.
