You know, Heim told me once to imagine the absolute worst-case scenario, to help move through the fear. Can you do that? I'm not sure it would help, but imagine W making out with B at the gaming night. Sorry, that might have been too much (and it's extremely unlikely to get to that!), but if you can be prepared perhaps you can program your reactions ahead of time. Maybe you can agree (with yourself at least) to discuss property distribution only when you're alone?
..but I'm way hotter than he is! :P
I've already had that image in my mind. um. Reaction depends on whether or not I were to "catch" them if it happened IRL. (A non-violent response, btw, would be to sign B up for all the junk mail free offers I could! hehe). Seriously, planning a rational reaction to something like that's not a terrible idea.
As for the property, yeah, we should only discuss it while we're alone. That was sorta my bad, by asking a few of our friends "Wanna buy a Prius?"
OK. Different Topic:
She's got her own apartment now. She's moving in November 1, and her sister's moving in in December (SIL is going on a month-long trip to Thailand in Nov. That's actually pretty cool for SIL.). W plans on having a "house-warming" party sometime after she moves in.
Now, it's HIGHLY unlikely that I'd be invited (like, the chances of Ralph Nader getting elected president in 2008 unlikely), but I am considering getting her some small house-warming gift to give to her outside of the party/gathering.
I'm torn, here. Because on one hand, she IS taking furniture and stuff, and is leaving me. On the other hand, some small token of "good luck in your new place" as a goodwill gesture might be nice. Like, $20 or cheaper.
Thoughts, folks? This is where the "I'm a nice, generally giving person" might trip me up, because my natural inclination is to be nice (Note: I have NOT been asked to give a gift by anyone. This is wholly my idea.) . . . but would it look weird to give a house-warming gift to the woman who's leaving me?
