That's just it Leslie, I have a knack for being REALLY heavy handed when it comes to these kinds of convos. I get myself so worked up that I just lay it on REALLY thick and things end up getting heated. Somehow I usually come accross as attacking her or defensive, or both. This time I just saw the opportunity to be direct (sorta anyway) and yes, let her know that I was not happy with the status quo, but more than that, I am curious about how SHE feels about it.
I think the door is now open to have the full talk when things seem right. I think she may even start that talk.
I can't say I'm not frustrated anymore because clearly I am, and since that's not how I want to live permanantly, I WILL do something about it in due time. Right now, it's back to being the happiest mf-er on earth again and play with my kids...
On the other hand, I bought two more scented candles today. Told W that I thought it must be like starting a camp fire and that I must need more kindling to get the fire going, lol. She laughed...
