Alright. When we met today it seemed like she had something to say. She got in my car and I said. What's up? W. Nothing. Just wondering if there was anything we need to talk about. Me. No. I'm good ( smile)
Then an hour goes by during which I get a play by play of her drive almost. To which if it's a question. I answer with short responses. If not a question no response from me.
Then I get. Could I possibly borrow 100$ till Wednesday? I know she has no money right now. She had some unexpected expenses that literally used all her starting money. My first thought was really? You pack up and leave. Now you need help? Then I thought about it before I responded. She has the boys this week. She hasn't had time and doesn't have the money for groceries. I'm not going to deny my children food because of W and sitch. So lending this time is ok. I can't let it become habit tho. Now my problem is is 100$ enough. Is it needy or pushing to send her 150 or 200?
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
