Intersting you said just that. OM's W and I just went back and forth on this exact same thing.
Both my W and OM have a tendency to "spend" their way to happiness (i.e. out of depression; self-image; inadequacy). So now that they think they ahev the exposure covered by the "we started hanging out a month ago when we were both separating" they now bought a kitten or kittens; W just posted *MX* on the BBM (going to Mexico?)
Reality is coming and it's gonna be a beatch.
Ironically, OM starts a course in September (and isn't paid to do it) so he has no money or time. W just took an unpaid vacation. So his W and I figure a winter break- they are planning a future that will implode about the time of the trip.
