Its been another week of long, lonely nights.
Leading to another terse call with Wifey.

She has been monosyllabic on the phone since Tuesday and then I spoke to her again, and got the yes/no/don't know treatment. I got fed up and asked if this was because I vetoed the trip, or if there was something else.
She said she was tired, and had a headache as she had just worked nights and was about to say something like "you don't know what its like", as she has used that in an argument before... but as I was on my 5th night and I was calling from work, she stopped herself.

I called later and said goodnight, and again in the morning to ask how they were, but there hasn't been much conversation.
