She's fighting with me, and I don't care.

We're fighting ... At least that's what she thinks. Maybe a year ago,
I would have been an emotional wreck about it - wondering what I did
wrong, what can I do to make it right?

Now: I don't really care. I'm just treating everything like its
normal. I'm not being beta - but just doing what I want.

It all started Thursday. I got home. Ate dinner. After putting the
kids to bed, I noticed the missus was pissed off. Ok - I'll bite - I
was curious. "What's wrong," I asked. She replied "I had a shitty
day." I responded "why, what happened?" No answer from her. So, I
smack her on the ass and say - "well get into the bedroom, I'll make
your day better." She says "you don't know when to stop." I reply "I
sure don't." She then storms away and locks herself in the bedroom.
(In this house that's a hard "No").

Since then, she hasn't really talked to me. And I don't really mind. I
spent Thursday night cleaning the pool and getting it ready to use
with the kids for the weekend. Then threw on some jazz and reread some
of the sidebar materials. I remained jovial during this whole period -
smiling at her when she walked by looking at me with a scowl.

Then yesterday she maintained radio silence all day long. I get home.
We eat dinner. Kids go to bed. I hold her hand and then grab her ass.
She says "I'm still mad at you." I reply "then let's have some makeup
sex," and lead her to the bedroom. She rages again. Gives me a hard
no. So, I make some plans with friends and head out for a few hours.
She asks "where are you going?" I reply "out."

Today it's been more of the same. I'm taking it in stride. I did ask
her what she's so mad about again. She didn't reply (still giving me
the silent treatment). I smiled told her that I guess it's nothing
important. She gave me a dirty look. Whatever.

We haven't talked today other than that brief exchange. I've asked her
a few logistical things (to which she didn't reply), but that's about
it. I'm acting normal - she's acting like a teenager.

A year ago, this would have bothered the shit out of me. Now, I don't
really care. I fixed some shit in the backyard. Took the kids out for
ice cream. Now, I'm kicking back on the couch watching some football
with my son and she's doing whateverthefuck in the bedroom.

So, I guess my question is how I should I play this? Keep on doing
what I'm doing? Pick a fight? Ignore her back? Feedback is
appreciated.

(Btw: I've been lifting. Yesterday was leg day. I'm sore and today is
a rest day.)
