Oh, HD, I've been thinking about you and hoping that no news was good news. Your post almost made me cry. Your W's reaction was so uncalled for and so downright MEAN! Here you're both supposed to be pulling for the same team, the marriage.... <sigh> This is like a kid running up to someone with open arms for a hug and being body-slammed to the ground.
I agree with HP that you did NOT need to ask permission. Two married people sleeping in the same bed constitutes permission in my book.
Besides diagnosing you with ADD has the MC come up with any other gems? Does W feel that MC is on her side against you?
P.S. The phrase "mea culpa" comes from the Confiteor, a prayer from the pre-1966 Latin Mass where everyone confesses to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints and hosts of heaven that they have sinned "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea MAXIMA culpa," each person dramatically striking his/her breast [sic] with a closed fist on each "mea." Translates as "[through] my fault, [through] my fault, [through] my MOST GREVOUS fault." This has been replaced in the English Mass with a milder confession.
