Somebody posted that part of acting "as-if" and GAL is to send the message to the WAS that the LBS will not always be there.
Well my W acts as if I'm the sure thing. She had planned this Sunday spending the day with her girlfriend (and I suspect a guy that she is infactuated with was going to join them). It fell through, so she spent the day with me and the kids. My W has already made plans for next Saturday. So I made plans to take my 3 girls sailing with one of the girls friend and her friend's mother. This afternoon, I get an email from my wife about something unrelated, and she ends the email,
"If [girlfriend's name] flakes out on me again, I'll be sailing too :)"
After reading posts on this board, I don't want to be my W's plan B so I answered the main query and then added,
"there really won't be any room for more people. We can schedule another weekend for sailing."
IDK, is too rude? I want to send the message that I'm not just sitting around here waiting for her, and that she cannot take spending time with me for granted.
