This is so true! Recently we had an opportunity to have all three kids spend the night somewhere else. Our son was on a school trip to another country, and our daughters were plotting to get invited to friends' houses. That's why my LDW suggested they invite their friends to OUR house and have a slumber party! What could have been a blissful night alone turned into something else altogether. This is not the first time she has squandered opportunities. But then this thread has shown me that it is not a squander to her. She's just doing what comes naturally to her as an LD person. While I am thinking of just the opposite. When I read these posts from HD wives with LD husbands, I have to think: why couldn't I have been with one of them??? I would LOVE to try/do new things at every opportunity. When we do ML now (and thankfully it's not quite as RARE an event as with other posters) it's gotten to be so rote that I hardly even look forward to it anymore. Maybe that's part of her plan too...
