Round 2, Part 2 (Electric Boogaloo)

[Bdog37]

Again, nothing big today, but just more ramblings of a LBS... Anyone else have some experiences similar to this???

With the issue of control? Yes, early on my STBEW hated me GAL because I wouldn't let her "control" me anymore. I didn't answer to her and it drove her nuts.

Feeling good, but venting a little. I was texting the W about the timing of a potential vacation for just me and the kids later in the summer. She goes from "ok, just let me know" to "I've got to go I'm losing it" in like 2 seconds flat.

Could it be because last time you went on vacation with the kids it was the longest she's been away from them? If so, then that is something she will have to get used to. Maybe its why she had to go so quickly?

The other day she confessed that my D13 are so close that she often feels like an outcast and left out. I told her that I was sorry she felt this way.

In my position, if my STBEW said that to me I would just have to quote Seinfeld and say; "That's a shame". However, your sitch is nowhere near mine so I would say it was probably wise to validate her feelings there. Did you guys discuss this issue any further?
