I took Ceecee to The Starting Block, a store for tri-athletes today. She is really excited about all this and wants to start training for what she calls “mini” triathlons. I don’t know what that means, but I support her and I bought her an expensive swimsuit to race in.
For some reason, she seems to have turned somewhat cold toward me in general. I know that work isn’t going well for her and she’s frustrated, but things at home are different.
It came on all of a sudden. We went to a resort in Branson over spring break called The Falls and it was supposed to be a really great time together, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. We had fun, but something just wasn’t right. Then, after we got back home, she just seemed to get angry and turn cold. I don’t know what I did, if anything, and she won’t talk about it. She just says she’s fine, but I know when a woman says that, it’s never that simple.
So very true. When a woman (or maybe I should speak for myself) says she is “fine”, the truth of the matter is, “Although I am gagging on it, I will swallow whatever is being served but my day will come …”
The other thing that seems to always mean something more is when a woman says she’s “just tired.” Us men have got to learn to look deeper and listen with our hearts…
