I don't know if it's a result of my darkening and being out of the house, or whether she just needed time. In any case, it sounds like she's really moving out. She just emailed me and asked for a check for $500 (I'm the only one with checks) with no "pay to the order of" name. Sounds like a deposit on an apartment to me. Needs it RIGHT after work.
I left a cheery voicemail saying i didn't have a checkbook on me but we could figure something out. It got me a glib email full of imperative sentences. "I need it today. You need to go home. Go write a check and leave it for me."
I know this is what I asked for, and I know this is what all the great DB.com advice said to do, but jeez! I feel SO SAD and SO SCARED that she actually wants to move out. I've been DBing pretty soundly and the result is MORE distance between us, not less. Any good words from people would feel pretty good right now. Thanks go to Phoenix2 in my Newcomer thread.
I saw someone recommend 'Getting Back Together,' but I wasn't really persuaded by the reviews. Anyone know good books to read while separated? Or anyone read that one and think it was great?
