'Radio silence' - I suppose - means all is calm and silent.
And, indeed, things are ok. At least from her side. We have been for a two week holiday in February, another long week-end at Easter - both abroad. We have sold our house and are about to move to a bigger one - something I am excited about as well.
The irritations on my side continue - it is just that I care less about them. The late or non-existent time management, the constant instructions, the focus on minutae.
Some weeks ago she was going out and I, of course, was happy to come home. She had been in all day but the kitchen was an utter mess, nothing had been cooked, the dishwasher uncleared, homework not done. I steadily worked my way through all of that without complaint. The sink is always a mess, clothes cover every surface but I try my best to keep calm. The lack of work does not stop her criticising others but, again, I am used to it.
Things have remained calm because I still have time to myself, retort occassionally and her mood is generally ok.
Steady as she goes?
