Then he would have gotten drunk and shot everyone at the bar. Oh wait that was Unforgiven wink

But seriously, whether it's John Wayne or Clint. All women want to feel special and want a man that fights for her.

Next time you would tell her how you really feel. "I'm not going to stop you from going, but I'd prefer spending time with YOU" - then a little GUILT never hurts. considering she said one of her reason was you NOT spending time with her and your son. Go on to say "ESPECIALLY since you mentioned how important our time is together..."

This is a tough one if you are trying not to appear NEEDY. But at the same time. Reverse the situation with you meeting up with a girlfriend. How would she have reacted? Im guessing like a detective. In order for this TRUST to work it NEEDS to be about MUTUAL TRUST and RESPECT.
