KD, Realistically, option 3of is the only viable one. If I push the idea of still doing a date night, I think it will come across as desperate and needy. What I did before leaving for work was that I suggested that because I planned this one, how about if she planned the next one? She said snidely that this play wasn't going to be in town and implied that she resented the suggestion.
Your observations are all accurate, really genius level stuff. I can't believe how well you nailed it! So, another way to look at it is she isn't pursuing D and that is something I need to appreciate it more. But, my frustration is that the effort is not mutual and this was a reflection of it.
Any suggestions for a good way to respond today? We haven't texted or had any contact this morning, do I ignore it, suggest a Sunday night date night, send flowers with a "Thanks for your honesty this morning" note, or something else? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
