Well, this has been fun. Quiet this weekend. She'd left me be.... amazingly. So, dutifully, and not to mention to "pass the (probable) test", I called at about 4p today. Pleasant enough. Nothing special. Also didn't give her the answers and info she keeps looking for, which frustrates her. Signed off the call without incident.
Not 5 minutes later, she called and said, "Am I EVER going to be allowed to come home... or do I even HAVE a home anymore....?? " etc, To which I said, "We agreed to have relationship discussions FTF, not this way...."
Went went round a little. All the usual. I got quickly frustrated. Also touched my NYC trip. That, also, didn't go well. I told her it was business and I needed to not have a bunch of drama...which or course, irked her.
She COULD have reassured me that she would and could behave in a companionable and appropriate way, but instead she made a sarcsstic statement, "I'm sure I'd just embarrass and ??? you "
Anyway, long story short, today was really the last day I could change MY flight without a substantial penalty. And, unhappily, having to cancel her nonrefundable flight.... BUT, I cannot have all the distraction that taking "personal problems" with me to a business conference would cause.
Anyway, every part of me, every one I went to for ratification, if you will, agreed... There's no place for her on this trip, so I have cancelled her flight, changed mine, and shortened my hotel stay by a day.
NOW, I have no further need to accommodate her in my travelling. And, she can be here when she will and I will do what I must.
