Good discussion, Zues. smile At this point my friend has no plans to walk. I just see the resentment growing and know it's going to poison her. It's sad.

I'm leaving tomorrow, driving 14 hours to the state where I grew up. Last night I texted H and asked him to call me today about some logistics related to my being gone a week, the teens staying here, and getting their rooms emptied and ready for the new flooring. He said he'd call this afternoon. So at 6:30pm, I texted him again to see if he was going to call. Sigh......this is why I get frustrated with the man. These things were important to me, I asked him to call, he said he would, then didn't until I nagged. If there's one thing I have NOT been over the years, it was a nag, and if I didn't really need to touch base with him before I left tomorrow, I'd have let it go. Anyway, we did end up talking, he understood everything I needed and said he'd take care of it, and...this is the important part....told me to drive safely and call him when I got there. If you remember my complaints about driving to bring home S19 from school, you'll know this was big for me. Maybe he doesn't actually give a cr*p and he just felt obligated to say it because we were on the phone, but I'll take it. Happily.
