The more I sit back and observe the more I see W entering situations with a pre desposed arguement prepared. In yesterday situation W was all set to argue that with me that I had gone off about my business instead of going with her for dinner at IL's. It really took the wind out of her sails when she phoned my cell phone only to find that D7 and I had gone on ahead of her cos BIL was passing by and picked us up. In the old days I would have gone off and skipped dinner but not now.
The unconditional out that I was talking about was just a hypthetical situation, just one of many senarios that I run through my head from time to time. I am fully aware of the implications both emotionally and finacially but thanks for the reality check.
