We had an "almost normal" weekend...W came out from within a bit and I learned all that's been processing...
Guess what? The R was barely even a blip on her radar...so it's true, who knows what they think about when they are "away"...lol. For W it was kid stuff, personal stuff, work drama, etc, etc.
I did see the real W a bit, and of course I was validating and a ton of STFU...apparently one of her gf's told her she had to distance herself from W some, W went on about how she (W) is a "taker"...she didn't like that about herself...etc. I just let her talk, though I did want to tell her she wasn't like that in the past, etc, but I didn't.
When W had to work this weekend, the boys and I had, I hate to say it, a very calm, relaxing day...just going about our lives, some chores, some fun, some nappin'... I think her working is really good...gets her out of the house, into the real world, and maybe work will give her her "drama" quotient so less need for it at home??...idk.
I felt like during her talking with me, there was a bit of re-connection going on under the surface, it just felt that way from mannerisms, facial expressions, etc.
Our anniversary is this week, the big "20", I made a fun card (yes, I left the "mush" out of it)
So, in summary, an almost "normal" coupla days, a bit different vibe,...minus hugs, touch or "other"...
