Hi Ovrrnbw,

The same recently. Trying to keep myself busy but the difference is I started going over for weekly meals after certain gathering festivals and things were pleasant till the above episode.

This couple of days she just revert to the state of hostility style when she converse with me carrying the tone of angst in her voice, even though it was just general topics. The night before she was trying to engage into a disagreement with me over if to on/off the air conditioner while we sleep but I never took the bait. But I can feel the bitterness from there.

Today on the way to work, I told her that the elder boy had a habit of flicking his middle fingers at others right now and we've got to correct him. Then she started accusing by saying well, he learnt that from seeing me doing that. I corrected her on the spot asking her since when she saw me doing that? Even if I swore much during my younger days and such, I corrected my self when I became a father and I never swear in front of my kids, let alone flashing the middle finger and flashing the finger had never been a habit or action I do. She kept quiet after that.

I feel that she has slide into the bitter mode again and starting to build fantasies in her mind to taint me in justifying for her actions or whichever so. The denial and projection to make herself feel better?
