Again, my first non kids GAL event; so, wasn't sure what the expectations were.


Were you hoping for her to ask you to be back by X o'clock?

Your wife's response is the one I would expect to hear from a spouse in a healthy relationship (assuming there were no nighttime parenting demands). It's also the response I'd expect from an emotionally detached spouse.

Anything else seems to indicate an unhealthily enmeshed relationship.
