To plan our upcoming trip, the W invited me over to her place for the very first time. She must've been particularly upbeat that day because she asked if D and I were hungry and suggested we order an old family favorite for dinner. The restaurant messed up our order, but instead of getting pissed as in the past, I just went back and had it replaced. Nice. W decided to give me a tour of the place...looks nice, I can see where that child support money went. She seems rather pleased with herself, probably fishing for a compliment on her eye for aesthetic, so I gave it to her. After we eat, we get down to business planning the trip. All of a sudden, as we're browsing around on her fancy new laptop, she blurts out "so, are you still okay with having an open marriage, because that's pretty much what we have now." I felt really uncomfortable, so was trying to think of something to say when she follows up with a story about how one of her recent dates took her to see some fancy performing arts show and how nice it is to have the guy pay for her. I'd ask why this needs to be inserted, but ahead of any such concern I remember how she would frequently chastise her own BFF for using men to pay for expensive dates (hypocrisy much?). At some point she mentions how she dropped out of therapy a while ago but needs to go back to get hooked up with Paxil.
After we finish booking, the W had to run off to work, and as I'm tying my shoes, she again asks if I like the place and then mentions that if "somehow" things would work out between us, maybe I could move in with her (she knows I've been looking for an apartment). I thank her for the offer and off I go with D.
