Re: Moving past the WAW to a stronger me Pt. 5

Hmm... I guess the financial experts aren't around right now.

Quick unrelated question... I've been under the weather for a few days so I decided not to go out biking this evening. I texted W to let her know because she was coming by to spend time with the dog. I let her know that I thought it was weird for her to sneak around and that she could come in and say hello while picking up the dog. She told me that she was just doing that to respect my privacy. In any case she came in and said hi, all good. Then when she came back to drop the dog off I asked her if she wanted some tea, which I was making for myself, and she declined. She did ask me to send her love to my parents and brother who I am visiting for Thanksgiving next week, and said that her parents wanted me to know that they loved me. A little weird. I said thanks, and also told her that she was free to send a message or call my family and tell them herself if she wanted.

Later in the evening she texted and said that she would like to take me up on the tea some other time and to be safe on my trip. Per my intensive db training my initial reaction is simply not to respond since there is no question to respond to and it isn't something that really needs a response. I honestly don't think I really want to get together with her and have tea at this point. I'm certainly capable of being civil and friendly, but I don't want a friendship with her right now. I suppose I am really just looking for confirmation that ignoring the message is the best course of action. I have gone out of my way over the past week to be polite and civil (thanking her for her birthday card, saying goodbye at the gym, asking her to come in and say hello rather than sneaking around the side of the house) because a) I can handle it at this point and b) it is the right thing to do.
