Old dog seeks new trick 9

[Old Dog]

So WAW has came up to me to see if I'm free. I was posting on here so I said I wasn't. Finally we had this discussion.

Discussed the logistics of S15’s upcoming surgery. Dates, where to stay etc. And then we went on to another difficult discussion.

She is anxious not to cause unrest, especially in the next month when S15 has is op. I said I understand, I am here for him

She mentioned the Skype call I had with Elliott. During the call I had asked if WAW was in or had gone to watch football. S15 went to find out. WAW said she tried to only go out locally maybe for an hour or two but not 100% of the time. She said it caused unrest in them and I didn’t need to check up on her. I said I was just chatting with S15.

Apparently OM works in the next town along now and ‘she could have him round for his tea every night, but that wouldn’t be appropriate’. Damn right!

WAW mentioned if I was having a hard time maybe we could arrange to be at the house at different times but the affair with OM is not blowing over. She doesn’t want to hurt me but there’s nothing she can do about that. Nothing? I held my tongue.

What we said to the boys last October still stands as far as she is concerned. They will not lose either of us blah blah blah.

During these discussions I don’t say too much. She lectures and I say things like I understand, I’m not going to cause a ruction. Maybe that's a bit wet noodleish.

At the end, I brought up the joint account again. She said she finally pad in the same amount as me this morning. I just said good. We can review it after a while. She said it might be tight and she could really afford much more.

I hate her for doing this. For planning this for years and not lifting a finger to try and work on our marriage. Not mentioning it to me at all. For letting it fester until breaking point. Damn her.
