I had a small victory today. My W did something odd. She was home alone all day after asking me to put our 2 kids in daycare so she could have a break (been with them all week). I did.

At some point she showered up, did her hair, put on makeup, put on perfume, and then drove 45 minutes from home to go to a restaurant that we both like. Because they have food she likes. Then she drove back home.

This drove my brain into hyperdrive and I really wanted to question, back check, and "get to the bottom" of what was "really going on". But I did not. I did not question her. I did not pursue in any way. She texted me several times while she was out. I still don't know if she was where she says she was (the logic of getting dressed up to drive 45 minutes for a sandwich escapes me). BUT, I am choosing not to push her and drive her further away. It was very VERY hard. But I did it!!!
