Now that this is up, a little more background info:
I don't think she is having an A. I do think that she has someone in mind though. She has recently changed some of her habits and it is a bit puzzling. She never used to like salsa/dance music, but now she obsesses over it. Plus she smells like a perfume factory when she leaves for work in the evening. And she spends hours getting ready for work and her work has a very casual dress code.
We normally get along fine. Our fights are usually brief and get resolved somewhat quickly. However, I usually avoid conflict by withdrawing. So when we do argue, she does most of the talking and I get quiet and withhold affection. She would usually have to chase me down and agree to whatever my side of the argument was. This is something I have been working on with my IC (I'm still going, even though she stopped).
Another thing is that she complained about me not helping around this house. So now I have been busting my hump making sure the house is in order. I originally violated Sandi2's rule by telling her, but now I just do it. No matter how tired I am at the end of the day I make that the dishes are done, floors swept, and there is clean laundry for everyone. I also do most of the cooking as well (something I truly like to do).
She does say that I am a good father because I am always willing to help the boys with whatever they need. And I am usually the one that does out-of-the-house stuff with them. Plus, since she works nights I am responsible for bathing, homework, and bedtime duties.
However, I have cut my morning workouts short to come home and help get the kids ready for school. This isn't something she complained about, but I know she struggles with this because of her work schedule. And we have also received notices from the school about tardiness. So I make sure they are up, dressed, and fed in the morning. If she wakes up and takes them to school, fine. If not, I take them before going to work myself.
Some of my GAL activities: Signed up for a half marathon. Going to start training as soon as it warms up. I am planning on taking up both golf and boxing. Thanks to Groupon and Craigslist, I can find lessons and equipment really cheap. I started going to the gym again (stopped in 11/14 when the problems first arose). I bought some board games to play with the kids.
