Trying to Follow DB & DR

[Miman2]

I went out with a bunch of people from work last night. Beers and Burgers. Had a great time. Stayed out later than I initially thought I was going to. W texted in the middle, didn't respond until I got home.

Think I'm going to try to go back to the board game night tonight.

I've been trying to set up lunch meetings out with various people within my department at work. Get a bit of GAL during the day as well as the evening.

Working out in the mornings.

There's a Japanese group that meets on Saturday mornings that I've been meaning to check out. I was thinking of going this weekend.

Going to church.

I think there's a couple places around that give free dance lessons. I might try to take a couple of those.

My parents have suggested that I volunteer at an animal shelter or with the scouts.


As for things that lead my M down:
I didn't do the one chore in the house that I was asked to do.
Didn't clean up after myself in and around the house.
Complained about the R between the W, OC and I. The W stated I made her do things she didn't want to do in the past and now it was my turn.
Used back pain as an excuse to get out of things.
Constantly wanted reassurance that she loved me either vocally or by touch.
Doubted that love when she did show me.
Kept bringing up issues that she brought up in the past (like the one time when she said she wasn't attracted to me any more)
Convinced her we were better off staying home during weekends playing video games instead of heading out and blowing all our money.
Convinced her she was better off not spending money on salon and nail visits and that she could get just as good results at home if she did things her self. (Again a money/control issue)
Basically allowed her to wait on me hand and foot and not really ever allowed her a break or show her any appreciation.
Little by little over holidays/birthdays she would claim she didn't want anything so I would only get her flowers, take her to dinner, instead of getting her something.
She kept asking for a diamond anniversary ring, I kept telling her she had to wait until the correct year.
Didn't suggest anything in the way of a vacation or a reward for her to spend the money she's earned and take some time off of work.
Meanwhile I would take frequent "work from home days".

Hmm... what else?
