Really great day today. It was my day off and spent the day with my two girls, their friend, my son and his best friend that we've adopted short term until he ships off to Army in Aug. We were just hanging out at house, watched Guardians of the Galaxy. That show just can't help but be a pick me up with its great music and since we've all seen it so often as well as have the music.... well there was lots of singing and dancing. I'm tone deaf and dance like the pasty white boy that I am, but that just entertained the girls even more. And all this after movies with my son and his friend last night. And then finally, my youngest daughter and I watched TV together tonight for a couple hours snuggled up on the couch while everyone else disappeared.
Meanwhile, I think wife had a rough day at work that went long, and she probably wanted/needed support, but she's not talking to me and I think her friend was not available. So she fell asleep in recliner playing on her phone while my daughter and I giggled threw a cheesy episode. Of course I still wish my wife was giggling along with us, but she's made her choice for now.
I also finally really feel the conviction of letting her "find her happiness" through her own journey. I don't think she will find it in a separation or divorce, but much like teenagers, you can't tell them these things. She will have to have that journey herself.
In any case, I wanted to be sure and write down how I'm feeling right now, so that I can remind myself later during the not-so-good days.
