Was able to get some sleep for the first time in a few days. Pretty much kept to myself while W was relaxing before leaving. Some talk about future purchases and upcoming weekends, but I kept it short and light. She confirmed that we would be working out tonight and that she would pick me up. W has been on me to get back into working out. Figured it would provide some alone time and I always feel better when I am working out regularly.

Yesterday was the first time W talked about what was bothering her with work and her job to me without the kids in a long time. For the most part I was listening and validating. It was nice.

Like I said in my last post she was getting on me about leaving the house and not telling her where I was. Said it was a double standard. Did not respond to this b/c it is, I would be pissed off if the shoe were on the other foot.

I am living my life day by day and have to keep reassuring myself that one good day does not mean things are fixed or that a bad day means all is lost.

For the next few weeks here are my goals:

1. Keep being the best dad that I can be to my kids,

2. When W and I our at home have some space from the W,

3. Try to make some time with the W to just sit down and talk - maybe go out and grab a coffee/lunch without the kids.

None of this addresses the EA or the OM, but there is nothing I can do about that.
