There is a closing banquet tonight for my D13's activity. My W has been on the board for the last several years, and this is her last year. It's where W met OM1 and OM2. They may well be there. Other board members are aware of at least A1 (which I believe to be active again, but I've dropped that rope). So that whole activity has some pretty negative connotations for me, being a part of how my whole M has blown apart. W asked me to come home early to be with S9 since she has to leave early to the banquet. i.e. I'm not invited.
W and I are barely speaking, and when we do she always wants to flee. She cannot be in the same room with me. But this morning I took her aside and told her that she will get applause tonight and that she should revel in that because it is well deserved, and that she had done an excellent job for the kids. And that I couldn't go, but if I were able, I would have been front and center doing the standing O when they introduced her, because of her selfless dedication to that activity.
For the last year, she has taken any praise I give her as insincere.
This morning, she said thank you twice, but was quick to be on her way.
W just texted to say that if S and I want to come, she'll have tickets for us at the door.
WTF, I'm sure she doesn't want me there.
If I go... - could run into OMx. Not a problem for me, they are not men. - get to show support for my D13. - get to show support for my W. Blows holes in her "you don't support me" theory, doesn't it. - don't have to make dinner for myself and son although, the food will be mediocre at best.
