Kylo's Thread Part 2 Chances Look Slim

[Kylo]

With vacation coming up, I'm excited and so are the kids. It is hard to tell with the W. I think her MLC has a touch of depression in it.

I talked to the wife about vacation things, and had my shirt off since I was grilling. I caught her looking at me. Now, I know that anyone with their clothes off is going to get looked at, but she has been such an Ice Queen that I was surprised to see a little humanity out of her, and maybe she liked what she saw.

Later I am playing some country music, which is something I never do. I used to turn up my nose at most of it. The groom at the wedding I went to mentioned what a fan of Eric Church he was, so I gave him a listen and liked it.

So the wife is surprised and says "You're listening to country music now?" and I said "I was exposed to new things at the wedding." "She responds with: "You met some country girl at the wedding?" I gave her a look, hard to describe: shock, surprise, don't ask that? It seems the few times she does talk to me comments about me having or getting a girlfriend make an inordinately high appearance.

Then she responds with a story about these ladies making booby puppets (making your breast into a face). I listen, but I think it is pretty hoosier, so I just kind of stare at her. At the end her troubled friend wants to make one and wants W to make one too. W says she would have no one to show it to. So, a possible clue, or a smokescreen.

So it could be the genuine happiness of the vacation, my attempt at détente, but now I need to be ready for conversation it looks like.

Finally, as if to remind me what I am "missing": I used to ask the W to trim the hair on my neck with clippers. It was like pulling teeth. She would make every excuse not to. She would do everything else instead, then when it finally happened she would complain. This was a 2 minute operation BTW. So a few days ago she said she would help me with it this weekend, instead of me paying someone. Didn't happen, no big deal. I ask about it tonight, she says OK. Of course she stays with both kids at bedtime until late, doesn't mention it and crawls into bed. Just funny at this point, I'm not going to say anything. I know, this is bad DB, I just can't stand wasting $$.
