As soon as the movie was over, the wife called. She said she was disappointed that we didn't ask her to go to the movies with her. She asked if she could come over and offered to bring some dinner. I thought about it for a sec and said sure. Hoop, I think you're right--OM must be out of town for the weekend . . .
Then why "rescue" her from her loneliness? I would have said "I'm sorry, I don't think that would be best right now. I need to spend some one-on-one time with her. I'll have her call you in the morning, k??"
SHE NEEDS TO MISS YOU. And she needs to feel the consequences of being alone.
