Back to the topic, here's how it went last night. She called me at work, saying that she was planning on being home for the evening, and would that be a problem? I'm not sure what she even meant, but I told her no problem. I assume she didn't want a big scene or "talk". I came home, spent a few minutes with my son, then went outside to mow the lawn. My boy came out and we played on the swing and sandbox, then he went in for his favorite TV show and I stayed outside, working on some projects until 8 or so, then went in, said goodnight to him, took my shower and came down to the living room. She asked me which of "our" TV shows on tape I wanted to watch, and we talked for a couple minutes about that. Not too much was said until nearly bedtime, where she said she would stay on the couch and I could have the bed. There was one shitty moment where the topic of boats came up on TV (she always wanted one and I didn't). She said "Boats - that's something I'll never have, but was never going to get anyway. How ironic that you get to spend time on the water and I don't". [I took my son out in the kayak on a local pond Sunday]. I didn't reply - at all - just said goodnight a few minutes later and went to bed. So how did I do? Any comments? I did resist the urge to apologize for the boat thing - I would have enjoyed it and wanted one if I was in some normal state of mind, but that creeping depression thing made everything seem so damn impossible to me - but I can't say that, because it sounds like an excuse. If anyone has any thoughts on her frame of mind, let me know - remember, the night before last she spent with OM.
