Confused 3

[Joe46]

I need a little advice! Or maybe just opinions! As you can see from my thread, I am working on myself and trying to handle things different with W. Last night after I told W my plans for the weekend, she came downstairs and gave me a check. And said she would give me one every week to get this bill paid off. I have been paying on a collection that was from one of her old business deals selling things. The reason I am paying it is because I gave her a couple checks a long time ago to buy these things to sell, but account got messed up from her customers bouncing checks. So the collection is under my name. I just want to make sure it gets cleared up, so I am paying it. I don't need her money to do it.

So my problem is, I don't want her money because I know where it comes from. To me, taking the money is like saying, "I am fine with taking money from your job, but not okay with you doing it". Kinda hypocritical. But if I don't take her money, I am not showing her I appreciate her trying to help pay the debt. Any advice is appreciated. I wanted to see what other thought.
