wow, mind is blown 8

Couldn't agree more Azzork. My S7 got an award from school, I sent a picture to my WW. She was just as excited as I was and we all went out to eat afterwards. It was a good time, take the focus off of you, her and your relationship and go from there.

10-4, I will do that! I just wasn't sure how I felt about it... I don't want to keep it from her, but didn't want to hurt my situation either.

[Uphill]

Thanks for the input guys! I really appreciate it!

Picture in the paper is fun! I would have shared it. Sharing stuff like that goes a long way towards good coparenting, regardless of M outcome.

[Uphill]

So I sent a picture of the newspaper, her first response was "oh". Then I said "I just thought I would share, I thought it was cool". Her next response, " stop somewhere and get me one". I left it at that. She passes 5 yes 5 stores on her way home from work. I don't mind doing small favors but that to me is pure laziness?

[Ancaire]

Yes. It's also taking advantage. Tell her you don't have time, but point out that they're available at several stores. Nicely, of course. You're not her errand boy.

Had a decent S4 swap tonight, kept everything light and breezy but to the point. After that my GAL suffered tonight. Had a few fires to put out. Flat tire on my truck, then got my last ton of wood pellets for this winter. So I got a workout!!! Hand loaded, carried and stacked. That makes 7 total so I'll have warm toes this winter! Haha

Overall a good night even without GAL. Got some stuff done that needed to happen.

Journaling a little to get this off my mind. XF has been more pleasant the past few days, but I am still giving her too much head space. She arrived at my house this morning to drop off S4. In a good mood and dressed to kill... I couldn't help but take notice she was wearing all the Hewlett I have bought her through the years. Bracelet, watch, necklace, earrings and a ring I bought her...

It just messed me up a little because she only ever breaks out jewelry for special occasions. It got in my head now wondering what she is up to today? Who knows, who cares... I just had to vent

[asitis]

Just say, wow you look really good in that. No reason not to throw her a compliment, and being able to do so shows that she can't provoke you - and, she may have been trying to provoke you. If she gets a reaction that is complimentary & not what she was expecting, then she might be disappointed and have to more explicitly ask for what she wants.

I know it is hard, but at least she is wearing what you bought her. My W doesn't wear anything that I bought her. It is like it is all tainted. Too bad, as it is really nice stuff and shouldn't sit in a drawer.

And, the last thing you want to do is start running scenarios through your head about why she is all dressed up and looking good. You just don't know, and the only one you upset is you.

[Uphill]

Yeah, I know. The only person who can get in my head is me. I honestly didn't throw a compliment out. I acted like she was dressed in sweats... I wanted to. I wanted to real bad, but didn't want to give a compliment which may have gotten a negative response. So I left it alone. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to. I really wanted to! I wanted to grab ahold of her and give her the biggest hug and kiss she ever recieved but didn't. Me and S4 had a great day after this though
