W came home today and I was wearing some of the new clothes I bought myself and she noticed right away. Said it looked good. Did you take the boys out too? Ya we went for lunch and I got myself some new clothes. It was a good day
Even if she said it was a terrible shirt or something. It would have stung but I picked it because I like it. It's not up to her to decide what I want to wear. Very very slowly getting better at not caring what she thinks of me. Although she noticed. She didn't bother to ask or see what else I got and I didn't offer to show either. Even when we were good and she got something I would ask to see it all. Just helps me along knowing she may notice. But doesn't give a cr@p.
Just smile and wave boys. Just smile and wave.
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
