Went to church with WAW yesterday for the first time in months. Then we went clothes shopping for D2 for a bit afterwards. We were going to go to the gym together, but WAW has been feeling sick (allergies, etc.) for a few days, so I convinced her to rest instead.
Today we set the D2 calendar through the end of March. I had a NMMNG success, followed by a communication failure. We seemingly always have D2 Thursday-Saturday or Sunday. Normally it's great, because I have a little extra time with D2 those days. But sometimes I want to go do something on one of those nights, and I basically have to sacrifice one of my nights with D2 to do so. So it was a NMMNG win to understand how I felt and attempt to convey that need to WAW as we are planning the schedule. What I should have done was suggest an alternative to our scheduling pattern, and keep the reason focused on myself. Instead, I said something along the lines of "I always have her on Friday and Saturday nights so you can go out and party". I cringed after I sent that message (we were chatting). Soon after, I apologized.
