I called in sick to work today b/c S2 wasn't feeling well. "My belly hurts," followed by several quick bathroom trips. All better now thankfully. I agreed to take off vs W, as work wasn't going to be that busy today and W had made somewhat of an unfounded complaint about who stays home with the sick kids. She felt it was one-sided. So I genuinely offered to stay home today, and she will tomorrow if need be.
She has called a few times to check on him..and then chatted awhile. The niceness continues. So tonight we will be having our first of many $ talks, simply a snapshot of weekly expenses / income / etc. Something we should have done forever and a day ago. So I know that I can use this topic as a way to mend our R and further develop a friendship type of R.
Here is my question.... Based on our first talk, she had said we need to "stockpile" money in a savings account. W has always had the mindset of save first then tackle debt, whereas I am kind of the opposite. Safe for me to inquire what the purpose / financial goal is? I'm asking here, b/c I don't want to simply ask, "are we saving for Ls" and bring up the topic of D, yet don't want to be taken advantage of / support any Rs b/t her and any OMs. Hope I make sense here.
I know I am right for seeking clarity, just need the right way of going about it. If anyone has good suggestions, feel free to share.
