Hi BryanS, It certainly wont hurt her to stew a bit will it? I think that you did well, like you say, you don't want her thinking that you are at her beck and call all the time. You have your own life to lead and she needs to start appreciating that. If she gets pissed off about it well tough. That's her problem and you unsettled her. A bit of mystery never hurt anybody really did it? She may just realise that she can't always control the situation. I say keep it up and good on ya. Laurel.
