Returned from our beach vacation. Return trip was long and tiring. We drove 3 hours from beach to airport. Our flight was delayed due to thunder storms. We then missed our connection in LAX. We were put on the last flight from another airline, which was itsself delayed by an hour. Didn't get home until midnight CA time, after being on East coast time all week. I had to carry my 7 year old who was asleep off the plane.
During our week vacation, I spoke very little to my W. She did call me almost every day, but I did not take the calls every day since I don't always carry my phone. On Friday when she called, I did pick up, but after 5 minutes, I cut her off saying that I had to return since we were doing cake for my sister's husband's b-day. This is only partially true, but I wanted to send the message that life is going on, we're enjoying ourselves without her, and she is not the center of my life. On Saturday she texted me at 11:30pm eastern time "I think I had enough of solitud, miss you." I was awake, so I called her and we spoke briefly.
After arriving home at the airport, my W picked us up. We did not really speak to each other. My oldest daughter was chatty and spoke up my W. At home, we put the girls to bed, and we got into bed ourselves. My W cuddled up against me, I asked her in a somewhat cocky way, "did you miss me" -- she answered yes. We then made love and fell asleep.
In the morning I woke up, dressed, and went to work. My W is taking the day off and was still in bed when I left.
I was thinking that we do not have good communication. We didn't talk about anything. In Oct., there is a Retrovaille scheduled nearby to us and I plan on asking my W to join me. Hopefully by then she would be willing to do something like that. On this board, I've seen others say how good it is for improving communications.
