Wife Declares She is a Lesbian

[essjay]

Saturday afernoon.
I was clearing up things in the kitchen after eating and she comes in - back from the gym. Small talk began - what you doing today etc.
I said I had some things to do in town. She says to me shall we go in together!
I was so stunned that i had to clarify - "you mean the two of us - together????
She has previously gone out of her way to avoid the two of us doing things together.
Then i think she realised what she'd said and quickly stated "it's not a date!"...

So off we go, and then from that point on it's back to the ice queen again. Strained conversation, walking ahead of me - you know the feeing i'm sure - i had to really work hard to get her to talk. Made her smile and even laugh once or twice, such an effort though.
Why invite me in the first place? - Perhaps i just should have gone on my own.
