Had a great day shopping with the whole family on Saturday, but maybe pushed it too hard. Shopping really isn't my thing, but I enjoy being out with the family. But I was really depressed Sunday / this morning.
W went grocery shopping Sunday afternoon, and I messed up twice. Before she left I asked her who she was going to see. She replied if she was going to see someone she would tell me.
Then after she had been gone for about an hour (she only had four things on her shopping list and the store is 15 minutes away) I called her on her cell to see if she was still at the store and ask her to get something else we forgot to put on her list. She said she was still at the store and had just started shopping!?!?!?
I asked what was taking her so long.
W asked me if I was going to let her be her own person, or if I wanted her to wear a bell around her neck. In a light tone of voice, I told her I wanted her to wear a bell and said goodbye.
I didn't make a big deal out of anything when W came home, and she mostly avoided me while I dozed on the couch.
This morning I was late leaving the house, and as I was getting coffee, W's cell phone rang. I was right by it, so I picked it up to give it to W, and saw OM's work #. I stopped in midstep toward W, opened the phone (auto-answer on open), and snapped it shut again, then put the phone back on the counter.
W just looked at me and then came over and picked up phone to look at the number. She said, "Oh, he does still call me. I haven't figured out how to tell him to leave me alone. Maybe you could tell him for me, or you can do whatever you want."
I could not say anything without blowing up, so I continued getting my coffee. Before I left W and I exchanged some good mornings and a quick discussion about the days events.
