What do I do with her?

[Mike is Hurtin']

OK, so here's something for everyone to kick around ...

... shortly after the bomb on Sep 11, 07, W mentioned a particular musical group that will be coming to the area for a one-night concert. This is a group we had been meaning to see for years, and she asked if I was interested in going.

Being the lovesick puppy that I was at this point (probably no more than a week after the bomb), I said yes and happily shelled out $66 for a pair of tickets.

The concert is in two weeks. W hasn't mentioned it at all over the past month. I still have the two tickets (they were mailed to me and I have hung onto both of them), and I'm wondering if it's healthy to go out with her at this point? I paid for them and would certainly be within my rights to break the date ... I just don't know if it's right to keep pretending that we're good friends while she's still having some unquantifiable (but still very existent) affair with OG.

I'm very much in the "anger" stage right now, and feel a lot of resentment and disappointment towards her. I'm doing my best to not project this onto her (she's perceptive enough to know how I feel), since there's little to be gained from erupting.

Still, it feels like a rather pointed jab to get treated like this over the past two months, and then to reward her with a nice musical evening.
