On another note, I think I hit on something. I called my W to let her know I paid a bill she asked me to pay. She asked me my schedule for the next couple days. I told her and asked "why". As if I didn't know. She said she was thinking of going out tonight or tomorrow and just wanted to know what my plans were. I said ok, bye and hung up. I was fuming. I can't seem to detach. Then I had a thought. 24 is on tonight. If she goes out tonight, I get the downstairs to myself. I picked the phone back up, called her and asked her if she was just picking which night to go out. She said yes. I said "Ok, then if it's no real concern, could you go tonight? I have 24 on and would love to have the place to myself." I think it took her by surprise. I was ACTUALLY suggesting that she go out? WTF? I guess it was an instant 180 for me. I feel pretty good about being assertive in getting something I want, even if it's playing into her plans with the OM. Now, of course, I realize too late that I have my C session tomorrow and it would have been better to have her go then because I generally cope better after C. Well, I will have to go this one alone... Whatcha think. Did I do ok?
