Friday around 5:30 I was tired from the week and lied down on the bed to relax. My W lied down with me and we talked briefly. At 6:15 she left for the gym, which she does every Friday. I asked her, "are you coming right back? -- I'll wait for you for dinner?" She answered, "she didn't know" and then when she was leaving, I asked again. I pressured her and I shouldn't have. She didn't come right back, she went out after with a friend and returned at about 9:30pm. The gym ends at 8:15pm. She didn't call either, which is something we have established that we call each other.
While she was gone, I made us dinner, set the table nice, and even cut roses from our garden and put them in a vase. This is advice from my DB coach to "date" my W. At 9 I decided to eat, so when my W showed up, I had already eaten, but I sat with her and had a glass of wine while she ate. She remarked "oh the girls picked some flowers?" No, I did. She didn't say whether she appreciated it or not.
