jethro -- hmmm, not sure I can add any wisdom here. I can imagine that I would feel as uncomfortable as you seem to if I were in the same sitch.

I guess the "as if" stance would be the truest DB action? But, that doesn't feel completely right to me...almost like it's missing something...when your w. goes out in this scenarios, how does it play out? It may be easier to imagine a true 180 with more details.

What would be your top three solutions to this issue? I'm guessing that #1 would be that she just not hang out with this guy -- am I right? what would the other two be? Are there things that w could do to make this feel more OK with you? Not sure she'd be willing to do them, of course, 'cause some of them might "scream" of control ...
