I dont think she is involved with anyone else in any way. Truly, not a fear in my mind.

She began the art projects and online course since losing her job.

Before that she had a half time position.

She became angry at me a few weeks ago after I tried to talk to her about a family from my home town that I knew were going through a hard time. She got frustrated with me because their hardships were very small compared to hers. She said she couldnt be around me, and asked me to sleep in another room, which I did for 2 nights, then she asked me back.

I havent tried to undo anything, smooth things over, or profusely apologize this time. As such, we havent resumed any level of closeness.

Today was a normal day here. I was up at 630. Worked on a project for one kid for an hour. Packed a lunch and drove oldest kid to his job. Back home and worked on project for kid for a few hours.

Made coffee and began making lunch, at which point my wife joined us. Brought her coffee. After lunch worked on computer project for kid until 130.

Went to do yard work. Took youngest with me to try some things. Spent the afternoon with me doing some work and playing with toys

5pm left to get oldest from work. Took my little partner with me.

Home, oldest goes to shower. Tell him to put in a load of laundry. Wife has been in the same spot on the couch since I brought her coffee before lunch. Shes doing her online course, but it is day 4 of a 3 page paper.

Youngest puts away lunch dishes from dishwasher. I make supper, serve it , and clean up. I help wife with her homework some and bring her a glass of wine. Shes 7 hours in so far. I havent had a 7 hour workday since covid hit.

We all go out together to pick up treats for family game night.

I think she swept the house while I was in the garage.

I havent heard a positive word or gotten a hug yet today.
