Asked W this morning when she was free to talk about bank. She gave me the "I'm really busy right now" stuff. Told her "now or tonight". Tonight it is.
She gets so tense and defensive at anything I say. It's really sad. She is working so hard right now, and could really use the emotional support, yet she is expending so much energy just to hate everything about me. Man, it's good to be detached.
I expect she's going to flip at the bank thing, too. Ironic, since her complaint was that when it came to finances, I treated her like a child. Now I will calmly offer her equal adult footing, and I bet she will not see anything good in it, only because it is being presented by me.
Oh well. The gravy train is coming to an end. The lessons of finance begin. Whatever our outcome, it's better for all that she start getting a grip on this stuff. With any luck, she'll clue in that things are changing around her.
