DBing European Style, part 2

[Papa4Life]

So, W got angry tonight because she says that we agreed that whoever's night it was to bring the twins to bed wouldn't have to bring the big kids to bed. But that's SO not true! We agreed that whoever has "twin duty" (lol) would do everything -- dishes, twins, big kids, etc. -- so we would always know when we could go out: if it's your night, don't make plans.

I think I'm going to have to insist that she put everything in writing.

W is also still wondering if I'm on drugs. Don't know how to convince her that tI'm not without explaining detachment to her, so I just told her that I understood why she's feeling that way, but that it's just not the case -- I'm high on life!

W has also snapped at me a few times this week when I was singing to myself. It's just what I do, particularly when I'm happy (go figure, haha). I wanted to say, I'll stop singing when you stop yelling, but thankfully I bit my tongue.

Oh yeah, and here's another thing. I've mentioned my W's newfound modesty. She used to parade around in her altogether (morals regarding nuditybbeing much more relaxed in Europe than in the USA), but sinxe BD, she's been all bathrobes and locked doors. I wanted to say, I've seen you in your birthday suit ao often that any time I wanna see you au natural, all I've got to do is close my eyes and picture it, but again I held my tongue.

Anyway, here's the thing: we both went running tonight (separately) and both needed showers. W was taking a long time so I asked if I could hop in the shower and I'd be done in two minutes. W said no, even though she takes her time in the bathroom. So, whatever. Then I got to thinking: she thought I meant that I would be in the shower while she was in the tub with the twins!

I really think she thought I just wanted to sneak a peek, whereas I meant that I would shower first and then she could get in the tub after I had rinsed off. I might be reading too much into it (and don't really care, to be honest), but it seems like she looks for those types of situations so she can say to herself, see, he's still trying to pursue me.

She just seems to be having trouble believing that I'm reconciled to the situation now. And if she's not happy with the consequences of her decisions, well, she dropped the bomb. She isn't responsible for my needs anymore, but uh, I'm not responsible for hers either. So GLWT...
