MLC - I have asked whether I could help prepare food, with W irritatedly saying, no, she would prepare the meal, and d15 saying no thanks. I then set the table and hung out for a bit (with d15).
W did not call me to breakfast this morning (I lazed around in bed), which I found irritating and unusual (we usually have a family breakfast on the weekends). W asked what I thought of dance teacher and his wife coming for dinner tonight, which I think is fine; I think I'll ask W to call me to family breakfast, please, at least on the weekend.
I have a couple of friends here, notably the French guys that I play music with. I don't go to meetups though, as perhaps it could be construed as looking for a new woman, and my W would start looking for a new guy. Have gone 6 times to yoga though, and met a few new people. I am generally more social in the US than here, via meetup (drumming, French, a political and cultural group).
I feel like I am coming from a position of weakness when I say to W that she should not monopolize d15. Is there a way to frame this positively?
