Well the disconnect is harder than it looks. I've fought myself several times wanting to contact her or get stressed wanting her to come back home. The trick is I knew from the beginning that we weren't changing things. I had hoped she would sleep over but I respect her decision to keep the kids from being confused.

We spoke quickly this morning after I dropped the kids off. She wished me a nice day at work and I jokingly answered that I would after last night. Her response was "don't remind me". It seems it was a difficult decision for her and she isn't comfortable with it right now.

I will limit contact for the next while to let her deal with her own emotions. Except though, I will be sending a text. I didn't acknowledge her concerns during the conversation, it should be done.

Resentment occurs when we aren't doing what we need to care for ourselves, though we expect others to do it for us.
