Hah!

Well, I called her on my drive to work to talk about upcoming plans regarding the kids, and we had a nice talk.

And then she called me, I guess about an hour ago, to talk about events in her day. And acknowledged that's what she was doing... And we had a nice little chat again, but eventually, it got down to something like this. This isn't exact, but kind of the jist:

----
Me: So - why are you calling me?

Her: Oh - I'm sorry, I thought we were being friendly today.

Me: I'm not being unfriendly, I'm just asking, I want to know.

Her: Uh... (something, something, fumbling around, don't quite remember)

Me: So, you're not answering my question. (and somehow this led to some question like, do you want me to be your husband?)

Her: Oh, it's not that I didn't want you to be my husband; I tried...

Me: Are you trying now?

Her: No.

Me: So why are you calling?

Her: I don't know, I guess I should go.

Me: OK.

So, not really edgy or hostile or anything like that at all. Just matter-of-fact. This is the relationship you chose with me.
