W seems to have been noticing me more lately at pick ups/drop offs. She has a few times now commented on nice shirts/ties etc and how they suit me.
This week was the week W went away with the girls (I think :)) and I agreed to have S for the week. W has never had more than a weekend away from S during our entire M....and likewise I have never had him a week on my own...so it was good for me and supposed to be good for her.
My week with S went very well. To the point when she picked him up today I felt down but kept my self busy this PM getting jobs done around the house and garden.
W text me a couple of times when she was away asking about S. She also went on to say how much she was missing him etc and looking at pictures of him. I responded about how well S was and some brief details about what we had been up to.
W however was very withdrawn when she picked S up. She stayed a while for coffee and started telling me about family gossip on her sisters side. I won't go into the detail!
I asked if she had a good holiday, she said it wasn't as nice a place as where me and W used to go (the resort she stayed at was a few miles away from where me and W had been a couple of times). She moaned about the flight, the air company...but said in a downbeat way that at least she had a rest.
She then looked close to tears when she was leaving with S so I didn't drag the goodbye out with S.
