Ah, resentment. Yes, it appears to have reared its ugly head.
W brought the kids over for tea and then asked what I was doing Friday. I'm not one for telling fibs, or trying to make W think I have some hot date (Sotto put me right on that one!) so I told her I was going to the gym after work and I asked why.
That's when I saw it. That resentful look that I was actually doing something with my life and I wasn't sat around moping. 'The Gym?' came the withering response, followed by a look, that is difficult to describe, but if you have seen resentment, you'll know the look.
She was asking for me to look after S as D was having a friend over for a sleepover and there is nowhere for D's friend to sleep. Of course I agreed, and said I would rearrange gym for the morning, before work. Obviously, if it had been something that W wanted to do, for her advantage, I wouldn't have re-arranged.
W then left to go back to her house, but hadn't been gone two minutes when she called to let me know that there was a rainbow outside and I needed to tell D about it. Bizarre.
When she came to pick the kids up, the cheery face she had on when she first came had gone, replaced with melancholy. I show only a confident side to W (I let me insecurities lurk in this thread) and was happy and jovial. W left with a grumpy 'bye, then'.
Hmmmmm......
