So the Kids’ party is today and W calls me and asks if she should go get the cake now or could we stop on the way after I pick her up. I was running a little late so I said would you mind getting it now. W gives me a sarcastic thanks a lot. It dawns on me that this was/is a major problem that she has always had. Giving me a choice instead of telling me what she really wants. If she had just said, can we pick up the cake along the way (what we ended up doing anyway) I would have said sure.
Like yesterday’s phone calls about her doing everything for the party, HEY, W, did you ever once ask for my assistance? No, you did not. Have I offered along the way, Yes I have.
Anyway, we had a good time at the party and I made sure I complimented her every five minutes for doing such a great job on it. She at one point mentioned all of us going out to dinner together tonight but when I mention that on the drive home she says, “Well, I thought we’d be done later.” I told her that I was going to take the kids out anyway and to call if she changed her mind. As an aside, she told me her schedule for the weekend and it sounds like OM is not around, at least for now.
Dropped her off at her apt and said goodbye. So tell me, am I really such a bad guy for hoping that the minute we drive away that she is in tears regardless of the happy face she put on all afternoon? WAWs out there, is that what you gals did?
