If she brings up the relationship, I want to ask her how long she needs. I know this is probably against DB but I need to know. I want to know if she is willing to come home after that time. I want to know what she is going to do if I get orders. I know these are inappropriate questions but I still want to know them.
This is a tactical mistake, in my opinion. This gives her ALL the power.
Why should this be HER decision?
I'm big on Gucci's "I have decided ________ " approach. But then again, I doubt that surprises anyone to learn that.
