So last night I was out with some friends. Had a good time. W texted me to say that son was sleeping on the couch and daughter was with her. When I got back, her door was closed so checked on son then went out to the gym. Again after getting back her door was still closed, took son up to his bed and spent some time reading. Heard W up with daughter around 1am, daughter had a fever. At 2am, daughter wanted me and came upstairs to my bed and stayed with me. Something I would think my W would not have expected.
Again this morning, W wanted to know about my evening, and where I went the second time. I just replied I had a good evening and went out to do a couple of things.
Since she signed for this apartment, she has closed the door to her room every night, has therefore not heard the kids when they have woken up the last few nights. Considering a few weeks ago she would run up the stairs to beat me to checking on the kids, I find this a little puzzling. Maybe reality of moving is starting to sink in.
There has been a shift with the kids in that they do seem to come to me more than her, certainly more than they used to. She is always curious as to what I am doing and how I am getting on at the gym.
One of her complaints about me is that I stopped her going out (I haven't and have also asked friends to take her out over the past number of months), however she has not been one to organize anything for herself in this regard. I find it strange now that she has only gone out once I the past 5 weeks.
I have been enjoying myself and happy with the progress I have done on myself so far, I will continue down my path and if the by-product of this is saving my family then all the better. I am still learning which small positive steps I can notice, hence why I will post often here to get more of the great feedback I have had so far.
