Yesterday was an open house at the kids school. We all went as a family. My W acted a little cold and distant. For example, in a classroom while I sat at my D's desk reviewing her work, the W was on the other side of the classroom. Then while walking around she was always a few steps away. Yet on the other hand we did talk together about things.
At night, she did some work on the computer, I was in another room and then she came in and said let's go to bed. She jumped into bed before I got there. In the dark room, I bumped my injured knee and it hurt. She said, "are you alright?" and started rubbing the wrong knee. I said it was the wrong knee, she's like "oh yeah" and we were both laughing, and then i joked, "no, not that knee Dr., the other one ..." My W then pulled away and lied down to sleep on her side with her back to me.
Huh? What happened?
After a few minutes I asked her what was bothering her. In such a low voice that she had to repeat it twice, she said she had so many things to do. This is true, but I don't think it is what is bothering her.
I left it at that. Of course, I'm lying in bed mind-reading. I wonder if the "Dr." comment set her thinking because of two reasons: first, she wants to return to the university to be a physician assistant, which can essentially practice as a Dr.; and second, the guy she is infactuated with is a doctor.
Anyway this is mind-reading. Today, she called me to tell me that she ordered flowers for my mom for Mother's day. She usually does this for me. Her voice sounded a little probing to see what I was thinking. Again, mind-reading, but after the past 6 months I begin to learn certain behaviors and clues.
