She knows you would not want her to go to a teddy party

She is pushing your buttons

I think fewer words and more actions might get you farther


I am definitely a man of few words lately, I do not even acknowledge her when she walks in the room the past few days... this may not be good for DB'ing, but I'm not in the mood for masking my feelings towards her. Perhaps a little time, reflection, and I'll come around. I know I let it get this far, and that is my culpability in it.

The other day was D13's 8th grade dance, I was looking forward to seeing her off to the dance, getting her a wrist corsage, taking a picture or two with her. The morning of the dance, W told me that rather than getting ready at our house, she was taking D13 to the "sister's" house to get ready, and that I would not see her before the dance.
I told my W that my plans for pictures, corsage etc., told her again that I would of liked to of been kept in the loop as to these plans. W started coming up w/ reasons as to why I was wrong in my stance... I shut her down, I told her "No, I told you how I feel, I'm not going to argue about it, I can't argue anymore, it goes nowhere, I'm exhausted w/ all the BS, please, just let me be - I won't do it!"

You frequently have sex afterwards

I think the confidence and passion excites her


You might be right on this, I never looked at it from that angle

Just say no I cannot do that for you today

Or better yet ignore her phone call or text message

And then go do your work


That is my plan from here on out, yesterday morning she asked me what was going on with her truck and the insurance company, I told her, "I don't know, you should probably call them and find out." and I walked out of the room.

She does not thank you

She only thinks of herself

While she is only thinking of herself

You cannot be piecing


Spot on, I've tried to convince myself otherwise, I thought maybe she would show her appreciation and reciprocate, I was wrong.


The sun still rises, even though the pain.
