I saw the WAW and kids for dinner tonight. Conversation was light and she appeared somewhat strained.
I have a question. She files on 11/21/07, S 1/7/08. I am receiving a small bonus on Friday and wonder what kind of message it would send to give her half. We are each living on our own salaries-me in the family home WAW in an expensive condo-and part of me wants to keep it for my "rainy day fund" If I send her half of my bonus would it be seen as an unconditional act of kindness or would the gesture be wasted?
She has a good job and access to the joint savings so it is something I would do out of kindness of my heart with no obligation to her.
