It has been a while since my last post. Since then, summer has come, W and kids are home, we had a good family vacation together, and last week, W had her 51st birthday. Herein lies a story.
On the night before, I got mad at her for leaving our first aid kit on my desk (one or two times a month, something, usually a phone book, gets left on my desk, right where I work, and not cleaned up like it should be, which always makes me irritated). I asked her, in front of a friend of hers, to please put away the kit the next time, to which she gave me a strange look.
The next day, her birthday, she was very nice, all day, responsive, supportive, etc, very different, a woman you would like to be with. I cooked a bunch of dishes to celebrate, and she seemed to like them all (had gotten advice from our daughter on what she likes). The birthday gifts were modest (a book, a Christmas tree ornament I had found in Poland, a gardening tool) and seemed to please her also.
So that was last Friday. Since then, she has been mostly nice, which sort of puts me on the spot. How do I respond to her being nice? The morning after her birthday, I went for a bike ride with a friend, without seeking her approval, and that was fine too.
I still sleep downstairs, away from her and the kids. Next weekend the kids are gone for 3 days, and W and I are alone. How do I deal with it being just the two of us here?
Thanks -
