Week-end went OK till I said I was driving to Philadelphia, NYC, and Orlando. Then BB said she did not want me to drive, she wanted me to fly and rent cars.

BB said I would be gone 2 months, the roads would be bad, It might snow, my car might break down, I might be robbed , and my back would not take the sitting time. I said I was driving and BB said "we'll see about that."

Aside
BB can really creat a disaster in her mind. This is a constant problem. The recent snowstorm problems, being prepared for a terroist atack (In Montana?), West Nile Virus? and wanting to stay home when it snows 2 inches are re-occuring topics of discussion. (end)

I took the "we'll see about that " as some revenge statement and said I was driving. I slept in the other room and neither one of us got much sleep.

This AM BB asid "It's always about you" and I said "Why do I have to take my vacation how you want me to take it?" I explained her "we'll see about thaty" sounded like a threat that she had some devious plan if I drove. We talked some more and I explained what I planned on seeing on the way and that flying eliminated most of those stops.

This afternoon, BB asked me if I would consider buying an almost new car. I was surprised. Most of what she said yesterday sounded controlling. This afternoon she sounded really concerned about my welfare. She said nothing changed in her mind, she wants me to get there and back safely.

So, perception of what is said can vary so much, I am at a loss for words.

Was her apparent controlling yesterday an attempt to test or control me? Or was this one of those "tests" women spring on their men?

This afternoons kiss was a complete opposite of last evenings "get away from me you selfish pig" attitude. Maybe I can repeat Hairdog's AM romp in Lou land.
