So I didn't from my wife all day and right when I was talking on the phone to my mother and filling her in.....
I say "I haven't heard a word out of her today, so who knows, but maybe she is waiting for me to respond to her. After all it's how we used to go about things because of the time zone differences."
A soon as I finish saying that I get a text from my wife.
W: Not going to be able to stay up tonight. W: I'm pretty tired. Only 3 hours of sleep. W: I hope you had a good day. W: Goodnight. W: Enjoy your workout.
I wasn't sure if I should actually try to talk to her real quick and just say goodnight in person. I was also thinking that she probably was waiting to hear from me all day....possibly anyway. So I responded with....
ME: Hi, I was just thinking about you. I literally just got back to the hotel from work.
W: Oh OK. Gym time then?
ME: Not yet, in a little while. I'll wait until it dies down. ME: Do you want to talk for a little?
W: I'm struggling to keep my eye's open. W: Really tired.
ME: I'm sorry I don't mean to keep you up. I know you're really tired. I understand. Get some good sleep and I'll talk to you later.
W: K night W: Enjoy the rest of your evening.
ME: Goodnight
So what do you think of how things are going. This honestly feels more like normal interaction with my wife. I am not sure what the next steps are really other than to just go about it the way I am and let things fall naturally the way they do, which is the easiest thing to do.
