Thanks so much for your words of encouragement, ladies. You were all correct!
W came home a little while ago, and in her usual manner told me lots of details about her night out. It turns out I had nothing to worry about. She even surprised me and asked how my event went.
I knew I shouldn't have let it get to me, but it did.
So I assigned myself to the chalkboard: Write 500 times, "No mind reading and no imagining the worst."
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
