since our last little incident my wick has been burning out slowly (going Dim), I have been slow to return calls (turning my phone off)and not initiating any calls. yesterday morning (SAT.) when i turned on my phone i saw she had called a couple of times. later she caught me with the phone on and hit me on the two way (nextel)since I was in a resturant and had taken a call since the day before I took it and she asked where i was and what i was doing. I told her I was on my way to open the store. she asked if I could put a sign in the window and take little Mikal to the barber shop. I told her no, she asked for an explaination to which i replied, because i have a life that comes with responsibilities just like everyone else's. She went into hysterics, it was ugly. I told her NO again, firmly and she told me it was my responsiblity, I corrected her, she threatened me by saying she would make her intentions clear from now on (incinuating she wanted this relationship to be over). I told her that does'nt change a thing "not gonna do it and the conversation is over; if i have anything of yours let me know and please feel free to come get it, good bye. Later she called back I told her that I didn't appreciate her lack respect and the fact that she can not continue use stress as an excuse to act inappropriately, she apologized. She called me later to let me know i needed to get the tickets for the recital which she had. I told her It would be after midnight ( I work a part time weekend Job) She said in a very up beat way, oh, that will be ok. Stopped by she opened the door and walked in and sat down ( this is her i want to talk posture). I took the tickets and headed back toward the door. She stopped me and asked several questions I listened, answered and left. WELL TODAY WAS THE DAY OF MISHA'S FIRST DANCE RECITAL. The W and I along with 15 other family members (all on her side) were together all day. It was a beautiful thing. The recital was held at Navy Pier's Skyline Theater (Chicago). We then had dinner at Bubba Gumps Shrimp House. The day went very well. my son wanted to ride with me afterwards which meant I had to drop him off at my wife's place. When I got there she was very relaxed we sat on the porch and talked for about 30 or 40 minutes no OR, just stuff about the day, the store, etc. I did ask her what her plans where for the upcoming few weeks since her schedule changes as a result of school being out. She said spending a lot of time with the Kids, cleaning up and spending time at the store. It felt GOOD JUST TO HAVE SOME TIME SEMI ALONE, but I hear you Kent, I have to incorporate this distancing thing into the fabric of this relationship in order for it to begin to stabilize. JENNY I feel your comments are right on the money, what were some ways you let him miss you; thanks more COMMENTS PLEASE.
