To follow up on events. I came home from work on Friday and was changing in the bedroom and my wife was in the adjoining bathroom and called out "isn't the winter ball this weekend?" and I said yes. She then asked aren't we going? then she must have sensed the hesitation and said "do you want me to go?" I answered I didn't have any expectations about whether she would go or not considering she is now sleeping in the guest room. She didn't respond to this other than we made eye contact.
I have always been confounded by the conflicting messages of no I don't want to sleep in bed with you, yes I want to go to the ball with you, and yes I will engage you in light and fun conversation at home.
