Happy 4th of July to all of you out there. Hope yours is a safe and happy one.

Spent the day with the family doing the standard 4th of July activities - parade, cook out, pool and fireworks. No issues with the W and I can say I had a good time.

The kids are going to be with their grandmother next weekend so I thought this would be a good weekend to get away on my own. I think that I have a tendency to sometimes forget about me and I am more than a dad and husband. Figured with the kids gone I could do some serious GAL. W also thought it would be a good time to have a girl's weekend.

The time away issue used to be an issue with me and W - from my perspective I could not understand why W would want time away from us. When she did hang out with her girl friends she would come back home relaxed.

W is planning future activities and said she is looking forward to going on vacation the first week of August. I am trying my best not to show emotion either way. I guess it is good she is excited but the EA with the OM is the 500 pound elephant in the room. She was upset that I won't ML to her and have not for a few weeks. Told her that we have some issues that we will need to address before I am comfortable with doing that again. The beat goes on.
