Wife asked me if I wanted to have dinner tonight (w/the kids). She seems to be very interested in spending family time as of late.
At the very beginning (6 weeks ago), she wanted to make sure we spend one day a week as a family. We even took a mini weekend trip to an out-of-state theme park. Since the numerous mistakes I've made over the following days and weeks, family time has become less and less of a focal point for her. She'd rather spend time by herself with the kids than the four of us together as a family. She's shown this in her actions as well as bluntly telling me this one day.
Since I committed 100% to DB (9 days ago), she has almost completely shifted her attitude with regard to this. I always allow her to initiate suggestions regarding family time. I never bring it up.
- Going out more often (on her suggestion) - Weekend getaways (Labor Day weekend) - Invitations to her family's events (change of heart on me coming to cousin's daughter's b-day party)
I'm going to stay the course and see where this leads. Keep doing what's working. I have a long LONG road to travel, but I'm starting to like the way this path is looking.
