Good news and bad! Good news is that my W, who is British, just got her permanent residence card today. It has never been a real priority to her (ruled out the her using me for that a long time ago) but it's done now. Of course I congratulated her and told her how happy I was for her since she has put a lot of time into it for various reasons. So, the good news came next, and immediately followed was the bad (not really news...you'll see)..
Phone- Me: Good for you. I bet that makes you happy. H: Yes. It feels good to be able to come and go freely now. M: I bet. H: I told my Mom just now and she said we need to go on vacation now, out of the country. M: Yea, that would be great! H: I will work on that when they get back in the country (her parents travel a lot). I just want to go somewhere. It's been so long. M: I know that's bothered you. H: Yea. We will (here comes the good) have to leave the kids with my parents and go to England for a week (excitement in her voice). M: (and here comes the bad) Wow. I would love that more than anything right now, and you know why. H: (pause) Yea. It would be fun.
Now I know I am making a mountain out of nothing, right? I just wish I didn't have to relate something could be really positive to something that is really negative. Why could I not have just said "Great, that would be really fun!".
So, even while I was writing this the story continued. She called back and asked me to request time off work. Huh? WTF? Anyway, I have a lot of weddings the weekends she wants to go but as luck would have it, the specific dates she is talking about, I have available! So here we sit, OM still in the picture so far as I know (been quiet for about 3 days on that front), marriage still in desperate peril, W not talking about R at all, nor is she giving any indications that her feelings have changed, and SHE's trying to book us travel to another country alone for a week? I know not to read into things but...
