From the perspective of the LBS it will/should be an eye opener for her. Plus if you add going Dark to the mix, she will be pulling her hair out in a week or two.
The problem I will have is that she is now trying to fill up my spare time. Under the "let's get the house in shape for sale" slogan she is asking me to help. I have agreed to that, but I have not said how I'm going to help.
If I move out and go dark for awhile I may just say "I'll split the bill with you if you hire a contractor".
This, "let's do this and that" started after I told her that I may move out of the state and perhaps the country. Another words "You may lose me for good".
I don't want to mindread here but she may be trying to buy some time here.
I need to get to the point where I keep walking away and she would be following with the rope in her hand.
I have to be ready to have the "We've been having a good time. You promised you'd help with the house. Don't you want to come and see your "kids". I thought we would be friends" talk now.
I will guarantee you it will happen soon. I just have to keep checking the temperature and react accordingly.
