Wow...I just lost a long winded post because my W walked in. Let me reconstruct it.

I came upstairs to help D5 (who had been trying to fall asleep for 2 hours) to self-hypnotize herself to sleep. W came up and I told her I'd be in the bedroom in a minute. I thought this would give her another opportunity to de-blunder the night. When I got to the bedroom, she was in bed with the light off. So I just kept walking to my office to journal and work on HOM. She heard me walk by and called me on my office line and wanted to know why I wasn't coming to bed or talking to her. I told her that I wasn't ready to fall asleep yet. Maybe it was undifferentiated for me to avoid telling her that I was disappointed in her. Anyway, I started journaling this scenario and reading about Tim's crucible moment, when I heard a knock on the door.

She came in and started trying to push me to explain the "tension" she was feeling and was wondering if I was "mad". I then told her that I wasn't mad but "disappointed". I said that falling asleep on a scheduled "date night" is akin to me taking a cell-phone call while on a dinner date and I didn't appreciate it and I was simply leaving the environment to deal with it.

....wait folks, I'm going to go back into the bedroom and turn this situation around because she actually gave me a big kiss along with a titty-twister (I guess it was affectionate though painful) and told me she wouldn't let me stay up in this mood. I caved. I'm feeling mixed. Maybe I should go in.
