Go Avs!!! But what happened in the 3rd and OT? My Isles lost, but I'll be back on Wednesday.
Today wasn't a great DBing day--I completely ignored the advice I gave Eddy and engaged in a phone discussion with W on where we were. C or no C? What willl a C do? How come we can't go back to the original C? I don't love you. How can a C chnage someone's feelings? My standard reply, which W hates--is to say you have two choices: stay and work on the M or D--and you have chosen D.
W said that we could be in better place as a family apart. I said when we D, I have no intention of doing things with her. I later sincerly retracted this as an emotional outburst. However, my other great move was to say that C didn't work before because W was in the midst of a "love affair." To my surprise, W didn't react angrily, but said can I blame her for looking someplace else for an R? Hmmmm.
Actually, to be honest, it wasn't that horrible a day. I think there was only a minor backslide--if any. I just pushed the envelop a little too far in interacting with her to see how far I could go--and learned I've got a long, long way to go. Lesson learned and I'm so detached right now that this was not unexpected.
DB Coach Laurie said my goal could be to live in the house with my kids and just deal with W as it comes. That's what I need to go focus on for now--because W will come out of her cave at her own pace. Back to the drawing board.
Betsey--I like your proposal . I joked with one of my friends that if I could find a nice girl who likes going to Yankee and Islander games, I'd grant W her D in five minutes. The Avs and event he Broncos are okay, but those darn Rockies play in the miserable National League. You gotta draw the line somewhere!
