well here's the update. Spouse was home and not glued to the computer every night this week. I dared to hope (first mistake)
Whatsis, our refrigerator tale has been a screwup from the get go. So today the store calls with yet another glitch. I tell spouse (she's at work)and she goes ballistic and later calls me back to say she has called the store and we can go in tomorrow and fix the sitch. I suggested we go today when she got off work (my way of seeing if she had "plans" tonight) She agreed we would go when she got home. So we did and she stepped up and took care of the whole thing, which is unusual as she is usually talking in my ear while expecting me to handle this type of problem. So on the way home I ask if she wants to get dinner while we are out? No she ate leftovers at home, she wants to get home and take a shower. (hmmmmmmmm there is a clue there).
ok, we go home, I go to SIL to have dinner with D. Spouse shows up to visit and I decided to go ride my bike before dark. I ride about 45 minutes and just after I get home the phone rings. I didn't pick up. "I just wanted to tell you that I won't be home tonight, I'll be home in the morning before work. I hope you have a good evening."
WTF? "I hope you have a good evening?" Is honesty beyond your realm dear? Translation: "I feel GUILTY for my HORRIFIC behavior so I hope you have a good evening because then I WON"T FEEL SO BAD!" jeeze!!!
For me one of the most hurtful things is I made her lunch for her last night and left it on her car. I used to do that when we were dating and last night I was feeling particularly daring so I whipped up a lunch and left her a note saying "be sure to look on your car, for old times sake". Now I feel I might have said "I'm an idiot and proof is on your car". I'm just pissed that once again I invested emotionally and got slapped. And, oh joy, tomorrow we are all going for an extended family celebration for my birthday. GRRRRRR>>>>>>>
"Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"
