WHY DO WE DO IT?

[navajo]

Well, the class went as well as could be expected. At one point when she was having to answer questions about her mother that just passed, she started crying and held my hand. I let her as I would also have let a "wayward female cousin" (HA!) until she composed herself. We only snapped at each other once (over finances, go figure).

Then the next evening one of my female friend came over to clip my dog while she was here and we had a great time. I was nothing but charming and funny (with the friend) while acknowloging my W occasionally when she interjected.

Then Friday night after work, I met up with a friend of mine who I haven't seen in years and hung out at a bar and grill. It was very nice! Also doesn't hurt that she's a very cute redhead. Nothing ever happened there nor will as she is married (as am I so far). I know this got the W curiosity up since I didn't come home until after she'd left.

Anyhow, on to the next sitch.

I got an email from W last night saying she didn't think I should list just my children as my beneficiaries since my S is 13 and D is 18. She doesn't think my D is responsible enough to handle it if anything should happen to me. I honestly don't know if she's fishing to try to get me to change it back to her as my beneficiary or if she is really concerned about the kids.

Then she said we need to get together and talk soon away from the kids... Sound ominous...dun dun dun!!! I ignored the emails last night but did answer this morning that I had taken the steps I felt necessary with the beneficiary paperwork and asked her what else we could possibly have to talk about right now. Haven't heard back yet.

Any input?
