LOL! Well, that sure didn't take long... Close and warm has already given way to cold and distant. That's ok, I know the drill. Just staying cool, calm, and consistent. To paraphrase a wiser soul on this forum: W happy, Stumps happy. W angry, Stumps happy. W reclusive, Stumps happy. Etc etc etc. Just going to keep doing what I know is right, and what I need to do to become a better stronger happier healthier person.
The kids have finally started verbalizing that they've noticed something is up with their mom. S10 mentioned that it seems like I'm doing all the housework, cooking, laundry, etc lately, and that she was going out a lot more often with her friends and wasn't home that often to put him and his sister to bed. I wasn't sure what to say, so I just told him that I thought W has been feeling a little blue lately and that I didn't mind pucking up the slack around the house for a while because that's what you do when you care about someone. Hope that was the right thing to say...
At the end of the day, I know I'm a work in progress, but I am becoming a person that only a fool would leave...
