I hate to give away the best part but if you read the title you can see where part of this story goes...
So NQRW was off from work today, so against my better judgement we had date day again. I knew she had not slept as she had not smoked and all morning she complained, but she insisted we do something. I decided a drive to walk on the Atlantic City Boardwalk might be good. She likes the sea air, she has ties to the area, and she likes to do that once a year. So we go.
Well before we even leave town I get told how she is miserable, cranky, bitchy(HER WORD) due to lack of sleep and smoking. I hear how she is doing this all for me, how I have to give something back, how all the suffering she is doing deserves something in return.....
Granted, but I had done something
See last Saturday after the last date night I was asked to no longer "put her down" which translated meant stop talking about any issue in the marriage.
I was to shut up about needs, desires, problems, for a week and "you will see how much this makes life better" . I doubted that the payoff would come but when she stopped smoking I took that as the payoff. I thought that in exchange for no marriage talk( an idea I think is not really good ) I get her to stop sticking death into her lungs.
But I was wrong
Seems I was expected to do more, but what? "You have the degree. You figure it out!" was what I was told.
Well half way down after she cried the entire time I gave in and said smoke. I waved the white flag. And she smoked her white cancer stick, and another and another and another and another and another and another...that 8???..opps and another, now it is 8 !
That was 8 for the day to be fair.
But I jump ahead..
We walked on the boardwalk. And when she stopped for ice cream and asked me if I wanted some I really did not want any. Now she obviously wanted ice cream. So what was her response to me not wanting any? Well now she will not get any! But she wanted ice cream, why does the fact that I do not want any change that?
Am I missing something?
So we stop a few minutes later and get ice cream and she spends money that she did not need to spend on an ice cream I really did not want so she could have the one she wanted...wonder if this same thought process works when she buys a new car? LOL
And it was date day, date day is about us. It started in response to the whole KP revelation. But today as always she had to bring KP up. Seems she is convinced KP is coming back out of the shadows to take me away...well not totally convinced...
She has decided that only if she gets happy again will this happen. So she decided that if she stays unhappy then she will get to "keep" me! I am not kidding, this is what I was told.
I again think date day was a waste but at least I got a tan, some exercise and ice cream.
Oh and some second hand smoke
