So she came home last night and was acting like her old self -- at least towards the kids. When we got around to talking about how the week went here at home I told her that it was great and we had no problems, no major incidents. She asked me a few times about it -- almost like she was surprised it went as well as it did.
After all of the kids were in bed I went to our room to watch TV and settle in for the night. She came in a little later to unpack her bags. When she was done and headed off downstairs she told me goodnight and then said "Thank you again" (for the trip). I just said "You're welcome" in a very unemotional voice and then she turned back to look at me as she opened the door -- i think she was trying to read the expression on my face. I just stared back with a blank look on my face. Not sure -- but turning around to look at me was odd because she hasn't been able to look me in the eye while saying goodnight for at least a couple of months.
After I got the kids off to school this morning, I came home and she was upstairs working out and getting ready for work. Curiosity got the better of me and I opened her computer bag to see what was inside. Found a bunch of love notes/cards from OW. In one card, OW signed it "Your GF" (Blech!) and another card was labelled "For the plane"... From the words written in that card it appears that they had a wonderful week together and that my W made OW feel "so loved and cherished" in every moment... Gag!
So it appears that the trip wasn't the disaster I had hoped... oh well...
Not sure what I'm feeling right now... odd mixture of mad, sad, and just "done" with her. I'll get over this, it just stings right now.
I'm glad that I at least have been able to be civil and to not show much reaction to her words or behavior. And I've also not asked her about the trip so I hope it appears to her that I'm not concerned about it at all.
