Okay, first off, let me just preface this post with this: I am still positive and still in a good frame of mind (I think), but I need to get something off my chest...so here goes...
I come home tonight, W is getting ready for work. She chit chats a bit with me, all is cool. Then she says:
W: Sorry you had to read that note M: That's okay, I understand...I shouldn't have put myself in the position to read it in the first place. W: Its still not right.... M: No I understand, there are his words, not yours W: You're not upset by it? Another man professing his love for your wife? M: Absolutely, I'm not happy about it, but what can I do? W: right M: How did it make you feel? W: Oh, I don't know, I really haven't thought about it M: You really haven't thought about it? Don't you think you should? W: I just haven't had the time.
And so on and so on, I start to backslide a tiny bit, but catch myself and alls well that ends well.
Now here's the rant. Number one, if you really didn't want me to read it, why keep it in the first place? Secondly, WTF? How do you THINK I feel about it? Ecstatic? And here's the million dollar question, what happened to the note? It magically disappeared right after I found it...this question would only lead to another lie I'm sure (that's why I haven't asked it) because I guarantee she would tell me she ptiched it in the garbage..well I got news for you, it wasn't in the garbage. And another WTF moment....what do you mean you haven't thought about...to busy? Okay, lets place everything on hold until you get time to actually think about it.
Another one of her excellent suggestions: "You dwell on this too much, way more than I do" Uhm, maybe because there's some loser out there writing you sappy love notes? Explain to me, dear W, how did you feel when the shoe was on the opposite foot, how much understanding did I get? Where was my space?
Okay, I'm sorry guys...I had to rant. I feel a million times better now. Stay focused, stay positive!
