Alright NY, you're ASSuming my H really *wants* to go. Perhaps I should not ASSume he doesn't. I'm just thinking that the more negatives there are, the less likely he will go. This is about his wallet not mine, as I have to go regardless. Plus I have a working meeting on Friday that spouses will not be attending, so by not coming Thursday, the time we have together seriously declines. However, I will suggest it and let him know that I was really looking forward to some time alone with him. I have been reluctant to disclose such details to him for fear that he will use the knowlede of what I want for some other purpose other than giving me what I want. Does that make sense? IOW, I don't trust him with my <irrational> feelings. The bracketed word should give you a clue as to why. But again, I have to put myself out there. I will start with this.
