I haven't brought up the car issue yet because W doesn't seem receptive. She is basically giving me the silent treatment, with a few grumbles and snide comments thrown in. I offered a few pleasantries because I don't want to be a contributing partner in the silent treatment game. Then just backed off and giving her space.
When she came home from work yesterday she was really uptight. By the end of the night she was quite relaxed. I think our home (and me) must not be that bad.
Still doing her share of the chores, and then some! Went down into our home gym for a brief workout too.
Tonight she just said she's going out, and left.
I expect tomorrow she'll warm up a bit as it's my B-day. She got me a gift and we went out to dinner last year.
W asked me last week what I planned to do, and then added "it doesn't have to be with me".
In the morning I'm planning a bike ride at a nearby state park, in the evening I planned to go to the drag races. I asked several friends and family if they wanted to join me. There's a chance I'll be alone on one or even both of these events as everyone either said they couldn't make it or haven't confirmed yet. I'm looking forward to the fresh nature air and burning rubber!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
