She almost had an "I'm lonesome" melt down. She got physically ill, didn't eat much for a couple of days.
Once she got the shingles like you did after a fight. Doring my trip, I would say she had flu symptoms. She was fine the day I left.
She was telling me how bad she was feeling, bloated, tired, etc.
PLEEEEEZE! BB plays you like a fiddle!! Just do what you want, get an RV or whatever, tell BB your you're going and leave it at that. Then leave. It won't be a week before she's whining for you to come back. If you give it two weeks, she might come join you, but if you hold out for three, you might get to to come without the attitude.
JEEEEZE I wish I were in your shoes. I would be GONE!
