Have you read the WW threads? B/c I answered this scenario of why your W can switch to suddenly wanting to spend a day together as a family. I also addressed why she would suddenly be curious about her H's activities (like how he spends his weekend).

To me, it's a plain as the nose on her face. Something caused her to think you might be interested in going out with some other lady. She was securing her position. She was showing you how nice she could be and how the family could spend a wonderful day together. However, she gave herself away when asked what you were doing over the weekend.

If you were smart, you would play Mr. Cool and just give vague answers. She needs to be concerned you could actually find another woman who would treat you much better than she has. This is the beginning of her thinking she could actually lose you!

My advice is don't reassure her. She doesn't get to know what you do in your personal time. Think of her as a nosy neighbor. Just smile and wave and keeping on walking.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
