Alpha - the future is now!

Just had a call from my W.

It seemed slightly odd. She called to ask if I still wanted to take the children out tonight. She must surely know that I would. She said that D5 asked her to come along too. She is not sure whether she wants to or not. She asked me whether she should or not. I tried to validate her thoughts by saying 'that is up to you to decide. You can come if you want to but I can't make that decision for you.' She said she is going to let me know later.

I have been reading a lot about detachment. I feel I would do a far better job of it if I had more time with the children. Achieving that has to be my most immediate aim for once it is achieved I can focus on them more without feeling the total loss of not having my family near me very much.

GAL activties: I have joined a meet up group for my local area. They do lots of different activities (pub quizzes, meals out, cinema trips etc). They seem to be fairly active as there are meet ups every few days of some sort. I am going to try and integrate myself into the group little by little.

EDIT: Another thought springs to mind. The plan at the moment is for me to have the kids during tomorrow day time. My wife was originally meant to be coming along tonight because she doesn't trust me alone with the children at this point. Now she is contemplating whether to come or not. That must surely be a sign that she is starting to trust me. It also begs the question that if she was coming out tonight to see over the whole evening due to lack of trust, why would it be fine for me to have them alone tomorrow.

I'm confused now.
