I don't really know how to act around my W. For a week or so, I tried to be in a really good mood. I didn't show anything bothered me. I made sure I didn't show any grumpiness (W always said I was grumpy when she came home from work). I also had made sure to not criticize her for anything. Basically, I was the perfect roommate.
The last week or so I was still respectful and peaceful towards her but I have been much shorter in my answers. I have also left the room more when she is there and basically I have left her alone. This seemed to effect her the most on the weekends when I would leave and she was left to watch the kids by herself. When I would get home, I could tell she was worn out and tired. I could also tell she was bored most of the day sitting in the house.
I'm not sure either way has been effective and I know I haven't tried either for very long. I guess I need to do a 180, but I'm not sure which was is a 180 for me. Since she complained I was moody or grumpy in the evening when she got home should I be cheerful. She said she never thought I appreciated her job and what she did because I didn't ask enough questions. Of course when I would ask she wouldn't tell me much because she thought I would be bored. I guess what I am asking is should I try to have conversations about her job with her since I didn't do this in the past? I need to read up on the 180's again I think to fully understand them.
