[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 333609, member: 1233"] My parents have always had close friends of the opposite sex. Dad worked mainly with women as he was a jr high/high school teacher. Mom was a professor and most are men. So neither of them is bothered by the other's friends. When my dad was going through his Masters program he took 1-2 classes at a time. For a year, starting iwth 3 summer classes, the same student was in all his classes. She saw that he was a top student and they studied together with 1 other student in one class. By summers end they spent quite a bit of time together studying. It was NEVER more. She sort of almost lived with us. Any food she had in her room her roommate ate. Labeled or not. So she asked if she could keep some food at our house. It was fine as long as her name was on it. What she wanted was eggs, bread and butter (real butter). the only thing we didn't regularly keep was the butter, so after a while my folks told her to just buy that. She often would buy pizza or bring takeout or munchies over while they studied. Then she would hang out and watch tv with me or mom. One day she asked if mom would mind if she helped as we cleaned for some meeting. We are never ones to pass on help with that. At some point my mom gave her a key. It was not uncommon to come home to find she stopped by and did the windows. My mom said she always wanted a wife who did floors and windows and dishes. I thought D was bizarre. Interesting but strange, esp because she almost never ate anything she brought over. Somewhere along the way I figured she was bulimic. She would always go into my bathroom and run the water the whole time or she would go to my brother's bathroom (inside his room - he was away in the Army). My mom was afraid I would think bulimia was cool until she talked with me about it. I thought it was stupid and gross and sad. And that bulimics stink. They have a strange and unpleasant odor (I later had a bulimic roommate and that odor is unique to them.) I think at one point D thought her cleaning would have my dad think she was a better wife candidate and he would leave my mom. He thought of her as a child, like a former student. Adult in years but not really grown up. My mom joked that he had a 2nd wife - who did windows! But it was only a joke to them. D did bring her dates to meet us after the 3rd date because she said my mom and dad were the best judges of character. Once she no longer had a class with my dad she disappeared. We did hear from her when she graduated, more of a congrats to my dad because he also graduated. So I know what you mean about "the other wife". It is nice that she brings coffee and you don't have to walk to the coffee shop in yucky winter weather. In nice weather you may find you want to start the walks again so you have that special time with SO. Just a thought. All in all she sounds like a really nice person. How is the contract negotiation going? When they no longer had a class [/QUOTE]
