Journaling...

Watched a little tv this evening, and when the show was over I got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take out my contacts. W called out to me from the living room, asking if I was getting ready for bed. When I said yes, she replied "weren't you even going to let me know?"

This. This is the puzzle. This is the thing I find interesting. And it is a dynamic that I have seen present itself in various ways in our relationship. My W can tell me that she is not in love with me and that she is moving out...and yet still feel slightly wounded that I would get up prepare for bed--perhaps even go off to the bedroom and go to sleep--without letting her know.

The mind of another person is a vast unfathomable place, the depths of which are best left unplumbed.
