Well Matt, you could be right to a certain extent... but I'm taking my cues from my coach. She suggested making the house something familiar and warm, hence the candles. She suggested getting her more involved with the boys without me to keep her individually vested in the family, hence the shopping trip. And this trip away... really, I'm not trying to be mysterious about where I am, no doubt she knows where I am. I just haven't said when I'm coming back. It might be controlling, but I DO NOT want the OW in our home, and if my W knew on Friday I'd be gone till Tuesday, I wouldn't put it past her to have invited her over the weekend...
I suppose I should be more detached from the outcomes of these actions, and that's the problem I'm having, at least today.
