Old dog seeks new trick 10

[Old Dog]

Thanks for your advice. I meant to ask this at the weekend but there was no internet access.

The window of opportunity to deliver the speech was only short as she had to go back to work. It didn't go down well.

She accused me of dictating what she can and cannot do. I said it's not about dictating, it's about what I am prepared to put up with. She said she has every right to bring into the house what she wants: it's her house too.

She said it's not sordid affair, it's part of my life now. I said we are still married, so legally it is an affair. She refused to keep it outside the home. I didn't use the word sordid in my piece nor in the reply.

I then asked why she isn't anouncing it further as the kids aren't aware of the full extent. She said they know she is seeing him but she is protecting them.

She then picked up on the fact that the cards weren't on show and I said no but the envelope was in plain sight: I saw it immediately. I said I wished I hadn't looked but succombed and apologised for doing so. I said I won't be doing it again. Then I asked what if the kids had seen them? She didn't answer this.

She did take the cards out of the house but was really unhappy to do so. She left saying we need to talk about this and I shoud focus on what's important, S15's upcoming operation.

So plenty of spew, and round two to look forward to. I'm not sure when that will be, maybe later this evening. S15 will be staying with her near the hospital and I will be at a friend's house nearby. Perhaps tomorrow when we'll both be there while S15 is undergoing the op.
