Mindsin - pt. 5 (back to basics)

[mindsin]

Interesting thing happened last night. It was about 11:00PM. Kids were asleep, I woke up to get a drink of water (W was sleeping downstairs on the family room couch). Surprisingly, she wasn't there, but the TV was left on. The TV's screen was mysteriously dark grey and flashing. Very strange.

I then noticed lights peeking through the bottom of the door to the study/home office. I am in there many hours of the day (especially on days I work from home) and I could have easily left the lights on by mistake.

I walk in, and there is my W, sitting on the chair in that room, with her white iPhone headphones on, looking at the screen. Her face looked blushed, and almost looked like she was crying (or just got done crying). She was startled, and said something to me like, "Oh, I was just sitting here listening to music and stuff". I then told her about the flashing TV, and asked what happened to it. She said she didn't know.

I wasn't sure what to make of it. It's not unusual for her to be speaking to the OM late at night, but her reaction was unusual, as the last time I "caught" her talking, she was very angry at the fact that I "barged" on her, reacting very defensively with a "I can talk to him anywhere, anytime" attitude.

This morning, she was very friendly towards me. Wished me a good day at work and left.

I told her that I was going out this evening (I have ballroom dance lessons - which I haven't told her about). I told her what time I'll be back and asked if she can pick up the kids. She simply replied, "Sure".
