I had an interesting decision to make today and wonder what people out there think. Saturday night is Chinese New Year's Eve and a night to go out for dinner with family. My W normally leaves the reservation to the last minute and frantically tries to find a restaurant. I know she's quite busy at work so I remembered a restaurant she really enjoys the food at so I called and made a reservation. If she has already made arrangements elsewhere I can cancel but if not then the job is done! I couldn't reach her to discuss it, so I did it. Now, is this something that will just reinforce her inadaquacy or will she see it as a relief? I'm not sure. Is this me rescuing her? Doing too much? Or is it a man who recognizes this occassion as a special one for the family and trying to keep it such? I thought maybe I should just cancel the res. and let her float her own boat BUT the good H and family man doesn't feel good about doing that. Any thoughts? I gotta run.
