Sorry to hear the W is being distant, perhaps she has a lot on her mind with regard to this trip as well....heck, my W get's stressed when we're doing an overnighter at her sisters, I can't imagine what it would be like when planning an international trip, lol
In any event, it sounds like you've figured this out on your own. roll with the punches and see where it takes you, I'm pretty confident that you'll be just fine.
I've got to tell you, i've read more self-help books in the past month and a half than I've ever read in all my life. Lots of good information, but my problem is implementation of those ideals....its so much to digest and truthfully, in my everyday life, I don't think I was that far off the mark. Although Mars/Venus did open my eyes to a large extent in understanding why my W would act/react the way she did. I used to believe that her "nagging" indicated a rejection of me, come to find out, she was expressing in ways that she only knew how. Either way, I'll be better prepared for the future!
Hopefully your day is going well!
