I'll take any help I can get. I'm traveling for work, and tomorrow (after I fly in in the morning) my wife wants to leave the kids with me and go sleep at her girlfriends house because she works tomorrow night (7p to 7a).

I just need some motivation (call me a sad shit, or whatever else you want) because all I want to do is reconnect with my wife after time away. Obviously I need to work on me. I consider this post a huge step for me because months ago I would have just blown up on her and vomited need at her, which would have made her run faster. I think I'll take the kids for a walk by the river, that's nice, and distracting, but... It's so hard not to be angry that her first thought after I get home is to get away from me. Is there a different way of thinking about this?

Thank you all, even for the "quit bitching, you pussy" responses. I need all of them.
