Well the original plans for the weekend got canceled. W was with OM last night but called around 10pm to let me know that plans had changed and that she was at home if I needed anything just to call. <P>I think the entire day today went great and I only LBed maybe twice. There was some tension a few times but avoided it. Son spent the night so when we got up went to get D and took entire family for breakfast. On the way D decided to ask if we were going to OM house. W jumped in and said NO, quikly changed subject which lead to W saying to me "it must be nice to just take off out of town when ever you want" I said "Just as nice as all the times you and......... I'm not going to say it and I'm not talking about it anymore" so she left it alone. After we had finished breakfast she said something about being full and that she would like to take a nap. Well she didn't stop there she keep saying that it must be nice to take a nap when ever you want, I'd change the subject and she say it again. I finally had enough and told her "you know I never asked for this and I don't want this...." she cut me off " here we go again" so I did say anything else about it. She baited me and I bit but didn't go to far. All the LBing on my part.<P>Later on in the day, I had spent the entire day with them, OM called as we were making dinner. She grabbed the phone and ran to the bedroom, I over herd her tring to explain to OM why it took her so long to answer the phone(4 rings, answering machine got it) what an Ahole. I wasn't going to sit around while she was on the phone, better to remove myself so I asked the kids to go for a walk to my house(2 blocks away) to pick up a few things. I told my S to tell W that we were go to my place while I got D ready. W came running out of bed room "are you comming back, dinner will be in 15 minutes, are you mad, sure you're comming back" I told her we'd be right back. Well when we got back she was in the kitchen cring, stopped when she knew we were there, was very quite, I left it alone. My S and I started watching a Baseball game and a player my W likes was batting so I let her know, wasn't intersted, S asked whats that about. I told him mom has a crush on *******, he said well mom got a crush on you too. I was floored, so I tried to tap dance, didn't work, so I said no she doesn't. He says well you guys are married so you have to love each other and be friends. W over herd everthing from the kitchen and started cring again. I told him to let it go for now and we'd talk later, so he did. I asked W after dinner if I had done something to upset her, she said no that it wasn't me it was "[censored]". I left it alone and told her if she needed to talk or anything to let me know, I was there for her what ever she needed. I guess OM LB'd all over the place, she was upset most of the night, her pager even went off and she wouldn't even look at it, turn it off. I hope he keeps it up.<P>Something else kind of strange happened, as I was rocking my D to sleep W asked me about my brother and his family. Then started asking about his wedding, I asked why she wanted to know she said that watching our D play with the neckles my dad gave me on our wedding day, reminded her of that day. She was thinking about that and about everyone else in our families.<P>Well I left later and as I was leaving she told me what a wonderful day it had been and that she wanted to do something tomarrow, she'll call me in the morning. So it was a great day and tomarrow's going to be better.

silwl- Great news I'm glad to hear it!!It sounds as though your W is really confused. I know it seems that way with my H to. It amazes me that the little things that I took for granted just spending some quality time with the family mean so much to me now. I hope you have another great day with your w today! Hang in there you are doing all the right things!!! <BR>Cybil
