There's no way I wouldn't go. The flinching is kind of a pavlovian response - I can think of 3 examples where this has happened in our M so far, and each of them was an opportunity for her to unleash a surprise accusation on me ("You are a terrible husband because you...") or make a renewed demand that I do something I had already refused to do ("I need YOU to move out of the house").
A couple of years ago I joined an IC session thinking I was going to learn how to help her with her grief over her dad's death, and got roasted for an hour for thinks like not putting the toilet seat down.
If I had to guess (mindread) right now, I'd say it is going to go one of two directions. Either she is concerned about me being "mysterious" (Going out, dressed nicely, vague answers, not calling her when she is away, etc) and wants to demand that I stop, or she is going to renew her request for space on her terms (I move out).
How much can it hurt - I'm already dead!
My only question right now is whether I should just drop it and wait until Monday, or (since it is bothering me and therefore my responsibility to bring it up) ask her in advance what topic she wants to discuss there.
