One year in but a newbie

Hi Blues,

Thanks for the input. I am keeping my communications with wife just about the kids and nothing else. Today I sent her an email setting another boundary with her. I had talked to her about our older girls picking up the cost of gas for the jeep I have loaned them when they start work. My wife felt that "we" should help them out. so since they started work I suggested to her that to be equitable she should put a tank of gas in every other week and that I would do the same. Needless to say she did not respond. Later in the day I got a call from kids that the jeep needed gas. I said I would stop over after work.

So I stop over and she is there, all dressed up and ready to go out. We talked for a few minutes. I told her that I assumed since she did not respond that she was good with the arrangement of trading off weeks for the gas. She responded that it would be hard. Then she says that the girls want to celebrate my birthday and easter together. Now, my girls never remember things like this. So my wife is planning this. yet she is heading out on a date. I can't figure this out. What a crazy ride.
