In addition to the computer talk, BB said she was having more knee problems, the dog losing eye sight, ........ she was getting older, might fall down the steps............... she wants a different house...........so after several month of “I want a new house” I did some looking.
The main point of the post was I said I wanted to stay in the old house, she could live in her house, and I would drop in on her Wed evening and go out to lunch on Sunday.
The usual defensive positions were taken, BB said I was making her feel selfish, if it bothered me to put an extra $75K in a house so we can down-size and pay double taxes, she could put up with staying here, for a while.
I want her to go see an orthopedist and a physical therapist but she thinks she knows her condition well enough to follow her own adjustment/coping plan.
So, now I am a doublely selfish. Also not caving in to what I feel are differences of opinion and pickyness.
