In the UK- PT22 - anyone for a glayvar?

[Huddy]

Just popping by for the ritual kicking which goes with 'I told you so'.

NDY - as always, thanks. Will firm up beer date this weekend.

I did take some of your advice on and didn't contact her after the kids judo on Wednesday. Friday night I got a call from her, out of the blue. Chatting away about the kids, she told me my S had left his scarf. I said it wasn't a problem and I'd pick it up on Monday when I dropped SD off to get her clothes, as she's staying with me during this week as well. W then asked if I could come over to see her. She sounded sad and I said we'd come over at about 1pm on the Saturday.

Me and the kids had some shopping to do, so we got to W's about 10 minutes late. She'd washed her hair and painted her nails and had got dressed in a nice top (she's been wearing PJ's or joggers since the operation). She had cooked the kids some food and we stayed for a couple of hours. However, the W from the phone call had turned in to cold W again and although we talked, she couldn't look at me. I arranged to pick her up for her hospital appointment on Tuesday, as I was taking the kids for some food.

I had no word from her until Tuesday. When I got to her house, she had been out to the shops with a mysterious 'friend'. I was annoyed, because she was suppose to be house bound and I was doing all the fetching and carrying. Of course, I am stupid. I fell for the manipulation trick. I was trying to be the good man that I always have been. Maybe I was expecting a reward. What a nob.

I didn't talk at all on the way to the hospital or back. I was really pi$$ed off, with her, and myself. I took the kids, including SD, for food and when we picked her up, she was all doughy eyed about having to go to her appointment on her own next week. I said nothing, I was and still am frothing at the mouth with anger for falling for such a thing, so far down the road.

I'm typing here to get this off my chest. I'm so angry, more with myself, but also with some of my friends. I had told them I had misgivings, and they encouraged me as they all said 'she'll see just how great you are'. Arrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!
