One thing the previous posts made clear to me is never, never get complacent. So, I hadsome early successes and I fell 100% and in control. I passsed a few shit tests. All well and good. Tonight, once again the wisdom of MRP is justified. Wife tells me tonight she got invited to speak at some conference, related to one of her hobbies. Fine. "I need you to drop the girls off for a function." (Which I also am just finding out about.) I aske her where and when. Its fairly early, and a fairly long way out of my way. I get a little exasperated "whoa, all the way down there." Didn't say no, was not planning on saying no.. but instead of trying a little charm (which would have worked) she gets pissy . "Fine! I'll find some other way to do it! This is like being a single mother!" Total bs of course, since she is currently a SAHM and I work 2 jobs, and do the grocery shopping, etc etc. I just smile and say "Fine." and go lift weights in the garage. Her hamster is going full bore as I type. SHe is spoiling for a fight, but I am starting to find all this boring, whereas 3 months ago I would have been stricken with angst.
