I was doing really well detaching, but I thonk maybe I've backslid lately. Guess I should go back to basics. It feels like I've been doing this forever, and yrt when I've read others sitches, I'm still such a newbie.

Yes that is the right way to go.

DETACH

So I've started teaching dog agility one night a week. Do I put the money in our combined account or open one up for just me?

Ok, another question. My H and S have started taking walks at night. My three year old asked me today if I was coming too. Today I couldn't because of a call, but should I another day if my H doesn't invite me? My S asked me but I don't want my H to interpret it as my chasing him or horning in on his father/son moment.

What does your gut tell you to do?

And why are you doing it?

My gut says that if my son, who has been a bit insecure lately, wants me to come then I should as long as my H says it's fine. I shouldn't over think it.

And I opened up a checking account for me which I'll need if we do D. Right now, it's just getting my money from class on Tuesdays. Money that wasn't in our budget yet so I don't feel bad keeping it. My H thought I should open an account months ago but I didn't want to take money from our joint budget.

I think that sounds like a good idea!

I agree Eirinn. It's never a bad idea to have a little cash put aside. Cash means choices, you know?

After my BD experience, I think I would always want a few '000s stashed away for a rainy day. You never quite know how life is going to unfold.

Good for you with your class - sounds fun! :-)
