What she said vs what I heard
 
She said: "I'm going out tonight with my mom & some of my friends for a few drinks. If I don't drink I'll be home, otherwise I have my mom take me back to her house & I'll stay there tonight"

What I heard: "I'm going out tonight to get hammered like I do every night. I know I won't be in any shape to drive so mom will carry me out of the bar. I'll pass out on the ride home & mom will carry me in the house. Don't worry, I'll make it to work tomorrow because I'll bring some vodka for the morning to get me going. Have fun in this marriage by yourself! See you tomorrow!"

OK. All better. I had to get that out! I wanted to say that to her but "is it worth it?" Success with "is it worth it", now onto letting go of resentment!
Thanks,

Just re-read this.......definitely time to work on resentment!

((OhBoy))

so glad you posted it here rather than argued with her ~ a much healthier option!

realizing talking with her isn't going to change anything is great growth!

hope you have plans to help you relax and enjoy your evening!

PINK HUGS,
