More BS on the homefront. I don't know what it is about my interactions with my W's friends, but EVERY time I speak with them, my W comes back telling me that I said something negative about her and if the friend is female that I was hitting on her. Ugh.

I KNOW if I am hitting on someone. I know how to do so. I also know when I am just being me and I am being friendly. My W just called me to tell me that I shouldn't try to pick up on friend/neighbor (f/n) who I spoke with last night. My thoughts are WHAT?!?!?!?!?

I only talked with a woman whose child was out there playing with my child. I only talked about our parallel sitches b/c SHE brought up the topic, otherwise I would have just been cordial and kept to myself. Unbelievable! I guess my wife expects me to be seen and NOT heard. She apparently wants me to be rude and NOT engage people in conversation and she knows that is NOT me. I am friendly and talkative.

I wouldn't be hitting on f/n for 3 reasons: 1) Most importantly, I am not interested in dating anyone, 2) second, I am married, and 3) third, f/n is my W's friend, NOT mine, plus she is married. What's bothers me is that I actually had a nice conversation with my ex neighbor and it was related back to my W as me hitting on her. Heck, we talked about spouses, college days, our children, work, etc. It was a mundane talk. Again, to be told by my W that I was hitting on f/n is alarming to me for two reasons: 1) either my W is again embellishing to f/n story or 2) my W's verson is true and that actually is what f/n thought. Again, ugh.

I tell you, right now I can't win for losing. I can't seem to do anything right in my W's eyes and that is neither new nor unexpected. It does hurt and it sucks though. I seem to piss my W off even when I am not doing anything wrong. And trust me, I know how to do things purposely to piss her off, but that is definitely NOT my intention or desire.
