So I ended up not making the bike ride or the drag races today. lol
W gave me a gift. (in her words, only because she only bought it before I was an ass the night I said she couldn't have a nice car!) It wasn't pretty at the time. She was still really still P-O'ed!
Just as I was preparing to leave for the bike ride, (by myself) my TKD/soon to be Masters Community Counselor buddy called and asked if he could take me out for B-day lunch. We had a good time and of course I got to bounce my recent sitch developments off him.
The drag races were then canceled on account of rain.
W later suggested her and I go out for dinner, and I accepted. We had a good time, and got along well. Near the end of the meal, she brought up the car issue and we discussed it rationally. Things got a little tense, but we both kept it in check.
We didn't finalize the new car plan, but are on track to work it out together.
Gosh I love my girl.

When you come and pick up your $100, I'll make sure you get your birthday bumps....LOL!!!!!
I had to go back a couple of pages to catch up. The first thing I thought if was, wow she is acting like a teenager. And I completely agreed with T2 that she won't talk to you until she is ready. I am not so far from those days that I can't remember doing the same thing to my parents.
Your W is a lucky woman. And if she doesn't figure that out, I'll invite you for a spin in MY new car. LOL
I'm glad you and your w went out for dinner and got along well. I'm also glad you had a conversation w/her about the car. I knew that when she was ready she would raise the issue again. Hopefully with things back on track and both of you willing to work together, a new car will be sitting in your driveway very soon.
Enjoy your day!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
This is so sweet. Glad you ended up having a nice birthday!

Thanks for checking in on me, Portia, job and rH. I really appreciate it!
It now seems the humor in my last post may have been a bit over the edge. I truly apologize if I offended anyone.
I made it out to the state park today for a bike ride. Lil sis also stopped by and brought me a card and some cupcakes. Her and W and I talked and joked around for an hour or so. They will be leaving for their Riviera Maya trip next Sunday, and are quite excited. I'll be on my own for four days and am excited too!

Hi FY! I'm glad you were able to have a nice birthday despite W's temper tantrum, and that you were finally able to discuss the new car rationally! Boy when these MLCers make up their minds that they want something, they want it NOW!�
And no you did not offend anyone, and I think I'm the oldest, and therefore, most crotchity, right!? I bet tha's a dream of 99% of us on this board - to get into our respective spouses' um...pants
Are you a humor school graduate yet, and has your divorce class begun yet? Any pointers?
