Beginning of the End

[TimR]

Thank you 1313 and broke. Today was an interesting day. We skipped the clinic as I said we would and she actually contacted me about taking him. When he got into the car is was in a very bad mood. I asked him why he brought his bag when it was just weigh ins. He told me W made him bring it, in case his wrestling hero was there. When we got there he did not want to bring it in so I said I would carry it. He barked a NO at me (I know why he was defying W).

His hero was there and we talked for a bit. That perked him up but he would not allow me to run out and get his bag. So we went to Applebees to eat. He got at ease and cheered up. W text me and I told her about his hero being there and about the bag. She scorned me "I cannot believe you wouldn't carry his bag in." I told her what happened but don't think she believed me.

After we ate and he was in a good mood, I made the comment, we are driving by there again you wanna stop and see if he is still there? He got excited and said yes so we stopped. I notified W we were on our way back and stopped at the college to see hero. I also informed her in order to save time tomorrow that I picked her up a parking pass. This was the text I got back:

W: "I was thinking maybe I could just ride with you?"

So I have gone from "you hurt me so much I can't stop crying" to maybe I will make a 2 hours trip one way with you. Has anyone experienced this?? I know we should not speculate as to motives but I think because she doesn't want to drive that far on her own. She is probably also figuring she can get a free meal out of it.

Regardless of what her motivations are, I am going to have to be on my DBing game tomorrow. Guess I will reread the validation thread and be ready to detach big time. I cannot help but think at some point tomorrow she is going to attack me for something. However, I need to act as if, as if she is going to be happy to spend the day with me, as if she is excited to see the new me, as if she wants to see all my progress. Light and breezy, light and breezy, here we go!
