Yesterday I came home and she was a bit cold and distant. No matter, I started playing with the kids and had fun with them. Started putting them to bed and W said she wasn't feeling well enough to work out (she hadn't been feeling great earlier in the day). I told her I was putting the kids to bed so she should take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood.

20 minutes later she texts me asking if I wanted to ask her mom to stay with the kids if they've fallen asleep and join her. I said sure. Her mom stayed and I joined her. She kept her headphones on the entire time and just listened to music. I just walked with her, keeping a PMA and imagined (per CaliGuy) the whole tweety bird in Sylvester's mouth idea. ha!

We walked a short while and she was done, so I said I was staying out to continue walking and she went home.

Spoke with a friend who said she really enjoyed the weekend and thought it was so great. She said she still didn't think it changed anything, but was much less confident of that.

40 minutes later I finished my walk and came home. She was watching TV so I sat on the couch and had a snack. No talking, but some chuckling at the TV.

We went up to bed, I took a moment for myself on the balcony while she got ready for bed. Came to bed and watching 30 minutes more of TV. She went to sleep halfway through the show. Even though I was tired I finished the show and then went to bed.

This morning she was just waking up as I had to leave for work. We said goodbye and I went on my way.

Trying to practice lovingly detaching.
