I decided to take Train's advice and have guys night.
Yesterday, I came home from work then went to the gym (routine for me). When I came back, I showered and told my W that I was heading out with my friend Jason for a few drinks. She didn't ask any questions and I didn't volunteer. I could tell that she was disappointed that I wouldn't be there but was trying to hide her feelings. Then all the sudden she started complaining that she had a headache. It seemed like she wanted my attention... the headache suddenly appeared right after I told her I was heading out. I was polite. I told her that I was sorry her head hurt and I hoped she felt better. When I was walking out the door, I said bye to the kids. When I looked over at my W to say bye, she look like she wanted to cry. I said bye and left.
I got home around 10:30. She was asleep on the sofa... very much unlike her. She usually stays up until midnight.
This morning she still complained of a headache when she was getting the kids ready for school. I was polite again and left for work.
It felt good to get out for the night. Uneventful evening on the home front.
